I made an appointment with ford had my car towed over so they can do a diagnosis on the transmission which they charged me me $110.00 dollars and.i highly doubt they even checked the vehicle i had to tow it back to my house. They tried charging me.$4000 for a new transmission which they are aware it's defective on focus and fiesta models instead of telling me that they went and let me spend $300 plus dollars on…

Takata recall computer or cluster gives off senor lights and it's not the problem(such as emergency brake on, and many more). A ford dealer has replace, cluster,wiring harness, control box and does not fix the problem and claims they can't do anymore, but called a ford engineer who does not return calls, per dealer.

Vehicle stalled. Tried to restart it, would not fire up. It then caught on fire on the side of the highway (i-87n, exit 17/moreau) vehicle was in good working order, no check engine light or other indication of trouble, temperature gauge never showed any problem. Not sure if this is related to other ford engine fires (due to overheating/loss of coolant) or what exactly caused it. Insurance did not do an inspection…

2010 ford focus doors do not open at all from the outside or inside of the car . The remote will not disengage and will keep doors locked. A person cannot just pull on the handle inside or the lock stem to unlock the doors. The door actuator on all four doors need to be replaced due to dust going inside the mechanical parts and oil's creating mud issues. Ford mechanic advised that they seen lots of ford focuses with…

I believe these two items are related: within the last year or more the car did not have smooth, constant acceleration. The vehicle surges slightly off and on while at highway speeds regardless of whether the cruise is being used or not. We took it to ford and they cleaned the throttle body however the problem reoccurred periodically. Also, within the last month, the vehicle stalled twice on different days while…

Air conditioner failing to cool. My car has 33,000 miles on it. I bought it new in oct 2009. I am told it will be about $1,600 or more to repair the ac. This is not acceptable on a car with 33,000 miles on it. I am told the dash, steering column and console have to be removed to repair. I bought this car to last me the rest of my life. The factory warranty is for 36,000 which obviously i am under but it is five…

Door locks working intermittent to a point of not unlocking all together. Passenger doors will not open, from the inside, when the door is locked, with child protection lock disengaged. This is a dangerous situation if a fire or traffic accident should occur. Checked online and numerous complaints of the same issue exists on ford products.

In order to start my daughter's used 2010 focus the key needs to be turned to the idiot lights and wait until the needles move on the temp and fuel guages and the chime comes on then crank it and it usually starts first try but it can take 3 tries at this procedure. It can be scary. The 2010 manual on page 175 says turn it 3/4 (idiot lights) and wait then crank but the 2008 manual said that too on page 150 but it…

The rear passenger door latch had been sticking on occasion, making it difficult to open the door with the outside handle. In mid-may, we began having trouble getting the door to latch when being shut. At times it would latch after several tries, or when being slammed extremely hard. In mid-july, the latch stopped working all together. We now have the door strapped shut from the inside making it impossible to drive…

I have complained about my door locks on the back of my car for the last two and a half to three years and no one listens to me. It is a safety hazard for me and my grandchildren. I can't take them with me because the locks don't unlock. Not a safe thing if a accident happened. Couldn't get anyone out of back seat. Please help me. I know i'm not the only one with this.

In medium/heavy rush hour traffic, the engine speed began to rise while the vehicle was coasting (foot off the accelerator) in 3rd gear. I shifted into neutral, applied the brakes and was able to avoid striking the car in front of me, but the engine speed continued to climb. A blip of the throttle eventually halted the engine speed rise and the rpms slowly returned to normal. The vehicle seemed to run normally for…

2010 ford focus se driver's side floor mat is not properly and securely retained in position and may slide up and under the accelerator pedal causing "stuck" pedal condition. The retention system consists of 2 posts mounted in the carpet and 2 corresponding holes in the mat. Most other cars use a metal hook in the carpet that clips to a hole in the mat. The focus mat retention posts in the carpet are not strong…
