Air bag light is stuck on randomly makes a "dinging" sound. Tires continue to wear out at a rapid speed, ignition switch will get stuck an engine will not turn over-can't find a cause. And the a/c stopped working this week, mechanic looking for a leak unable to figure out these issues and why they all started with in past month. Each problem they can't find solutions or tell me it's probably a sensor or the heat.…

Left rear hub came off car on freeway, crossed over to other side, and killed another driver in the opposite direction, and he had his 12 year old daughter next to him. I guess this has happened with the 2001 ford focus, ford knew about it, but yet failed to fix the problem, resulting in this mans death. I feel they should be held criminaly responsible.

I have gotten numerous alignments and new sway arm links. Dealership said i needed new bearings another alignment and another set of tires! At this point i have spent over $6000 on repairs to this vehicle all related to the same issue!!! There's obviously something…

I purchased this previously owned vehicle in late summer 2011. The mileage on the vehicle at the time was approximately 12,000. Within a couple days of my 2011 purchase the tire pressure sensor monitor failed and had to be replaced. On friday october 17, 2014 the tpsm had failed again and was replaced. The problem is this - it was the.....5th time... I've had a tpsm fail and replaced. My focus has only 32,000 miles…

We purchased the vehicle in fall 2012 and noticed the original tires had delaminated and worn horribly in the front . We replaced all four tires with alignment with top of the line nokia which should have given us 70k wear. We got ready for a cross country trip from washington to florida. We discovered the tires needed replacing because of really uneven wear on the inside. We decided to replace them when we arrived…

All of the hankook tires had tread separation. One was so bad that it separated all the way around the tire so that it was separated like a doughnut was on the surface. I always have the correct pressure but these tires were dangerous when they came apart. The tire repair person could not believe how bad they were. I kept the tires to show anyone about these hazards. *tr

Purchased vehicle less than a year ago, from a dealership. New tires were put on at that time. Mileage when purchased was 29000. While driving on snow and icy roads it would wobble and get squirrelly, which i attributed it to the lightness of the vehicle. There was no reason for me to suspect the tires as i have them rotated according to manufacturer specs, and no abnormalities have been mentioned to me by the…

After breaking my leg as a result of driving this vehicle with misaligned wheels on snowy/icy roads and thereby losing control (report filed), i have gone to a local mechanic who has allowed me to visually inspect other vehicles of the same year, make and model. What i have found has been verified by 4 different mechanics in 4 different repair facilities. The wheels on a 2009 ford focus physically can not be put…

My 2009 ford focus has had obvious suspension issues since 6000 miles. Rear tires always slip in wet conditions from a stopped position during a normal initial acceleration. Furthermore at speeds greater than (>) 60 mph the steering wheel vibrates and the car shakes. I am a fairly good driver and in countless "normal" driving conditions my car has gotten into an "out of control state" luckily i was able to recover.…

Ford manufacture the focus with a 2 degree negative camber. This makes your rear tires go defective as fast as 10,000 miles especially if you don't rotate your tires very often. You can get an alignment every month and it will not fix the defect. I have 24,000 miles on my focus and i have my third set of tires on it. I've did the research. An alignment shop here in warrensburg mo found the problem and fixes around…
