Hankook premature tire wear. Tires only last 17k. Ford and hankook will not honor warranty. Vehicle makes loud noise driving down the road and vehicle is more susceptible to hydroplanning. Tires are worn on the inner side. Ford customer service refuse to acknowledge a problem buy has several tsb covering the premature tire failure/wear. *tr

I purchased this 2010 ford focus sel brand new on 12/31/09. Sometime in 2012 (i estimate around 12/13/12), i purchased a new set of tires (approximately $600) as i noticed the car sliding at stops and skipping on acceleration. I had the car in a ford dealership (jim keim ford, hilliard, oh) and was shown the undercarriage of the car and how the tires were wearing unevenly, wearing on the inside. Into the next year,…

Was told by dealer that the hankook optimo h725 brand tires on my car have failed. I was advised not to drive the car for long trips, and to replace the tires asap. I have 24,000 miles on 3 of the tires and 16000 on another. I already had to replace one tire because of a sidewall bubble. *tr

The service consultant said it was a factory defect but ford says it isn't and they will not pay for it. Also i took…

Steering wheel vibration is felt upon application of the brakes. The vibrations are stronger at higher speeds. An automotive specialist told me it is a characteristic of the ford focus due to underdesigned suspension components. This can create a potential safety hazzard at interstate speeds (65mph) due to the strong vibrations in the steering wheel. *tr

Vehicle constantly "bottoms out" over minor pot holes in road or over speed bumps...if dip in freeway at freeway speeds the jolt will knock your teeth out. Been to dealer and independent mechanics and all say that suspension system is intact and nothing bent or broken. It is horrible however to have to experience. The shocks must be horrible and not well built for the car. Have had constant tire wear from poor…

Did everything they told me i had to do and now again tires cupped. Took it to dealer and now they said it needs a rear adjustment kit that cost over $900 plus labor, new tires and allignment. Ford nor dealer want to cover all cost. Also makes a loud thump…

The car bottoms out easily when driving on paved roads. If you hit a slight variation in the road, you have to slow way down or the car hits bottom. Going over dirt roads or crossing railroad tracks requires a minimal, barely moving speed. The tire pressure is accurate. Ford dealer tells me there is nothing wrong. *tr
