When i received the recall from dot, [xxx], i immediately contacted tallahassee ford. They denied there was a recall and i was mistaken. My vin # was listed in the recall. I tried several times but ford kept giving me a run-around and they lied. So now, i…

Where do i begin? I've had almost all of the issues/complaints already filed here from the dome/airbag lights going off for no reason, the key getting stuck or the car stalling in not starting, disrespect/unprofessional from ford repair staff or calling ford corporate, and the most famous focus moment of all, when the car shakes at speeds of 50 or above on highways. O ford!, how you've screwed us all!!!!!!! *tr

As vehicle warms up, there is a whining noise that comes from the rpms being higher. It almost feels as if it's belt or power steering related, but there is no loss of steering power. Also, there seems to be no loss of power anywhere else. When parking the vehicle where a turn is involved, at very low speeds, the noise is "feeling" in the wheel is a bit exaggerated. I took my vehicle to jerome duncan ford (in…

While driving the oil filter was damaged from driving on the highway. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told there was a hole in the filter. Ford service center told the consumer they were to busy to assist her, and for her to take the vehicle to a quick lube to have the repair done. Quick lube changed the oil, and gave the vehicle back. Somehow, this caused the steering to lock up, and ford will do nothing to…

I purchased my vehicle in early november 2004. As the weather began getting colder and damper, my vehicle would not start properly. The engine would stumble and crank, but would not turn over. I would have to try 3-4 times before the car would actually start. I took the vehicle in for service in december 2004 and tsb 04-23-4 was performed. The vehicle correctly started for a while after that, but is having the same…
