2005 Ford Focus

I JUST HAD MY ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED, BUT THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHY THEY ARE WEARING OUT SO SOON. WE ARE TALKING 3<MONTHS. THEY SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE, BUT I NOW HAVE PROOF THERE IS. WE HAVE ANOTHER FOCUS THAT I TOOK TO THE STREET I LIVE ON. I GOT UP TO 30MPH AND COASTED TO A CERTAIN PLACE NEAR THE END OF THE STREET. THE FOCUS WITH NO ISSUE WAS STILL GOING 23MPH AT THAT LOCATION. I DID THE SAME THING WITH THE ONE I JUST HAD THE ROTARS AND BRAKES REPLACED ON. ON THAT ONE I WAS ONLY GOING 5MPH. AS SOON AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES DRIVING IT BACK I KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUSH THE BRAKES DOWN NEAR AS FAR AS I COULD ON THE GOOD FOCUS. WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY, THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH HELPED SOME, BUT DID NOT COMPELETELY FIX THE ISSUE. THE WARRENTY COMPANY ALSO REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE ROTATION OF THE ROTERS AND BRAKES EVEN THOUGH THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANICS TOLD THEM IT WAS DUE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER BEING THE PROBLEM, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THAT. *TR

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH OF MY 2005 FORD FOCUS. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW KEY AND THE KEY STILL GETS STUCK. THE CLASSIC FORD LINCOLN MERCURY OF COLUMBIA, INC. 177 GREYSTONE BOULEVARD COLUMBIA SC 29210 (803) 779-3673 DEALERSHIP CALLED IN A LOCKSMITH AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS . I HAVE SPENT $453 AND THE KEY STILL GETS STUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED ALL FOUR TIRES WOULD EXHIBIT PREMATURE WEAR DUE TO THE FRAME ALIGNMENT FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS WERE PERFORMED BUT THE TIRES CONTINUED TO WEAR PREMATURELY. THE DEALER INSPECTED, ALIGNED AND CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS WERE CORRECT AND ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS POSSIBLY CAUSED BY THE CONTACT'S TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD FOCUS ZX4. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE BRAKING FROM UNKNOWN SPEEDS IN RAINY WEATHER, THE BRAKES LOCKED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A FENCE AND THEN COLLIDE WITH THE CURB. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000

THE HATCH BACK LID STARTED OPENING WHEN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WAS TURNED ON. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MANY INADVERTENT OPENING OF THE LID WHILE DRIVING. WHILE RESEARCHING, I FOUND A RECALL FOR THE 2000 FORD FOCUS ASSIGNED NHTSA 00V411000. I PULLED BACK THE RUBBER BOOT WHICH PROTECTS THE SAME WIRE HARNESS AT THE HINGE POINT OF THE LID. I DISCOVERED MULTIPLE CRACKED AND EXPOSED WIRES, AND ON WIRE BROKEN IT TWO. I DESIRE FOR THIS TO BE A RECALL ITEM JUST AS YOU DID FOR THE 2000 MODEL. I HAVE PICTURES IF YOU DESIRE. *TR

I NOTICED THE GAS PEDAL OF MY CAR (FORD FOCUS 2005) WAS HARD TO PRESS WHEN THE WEATHER IS FREEZING COLD. AT TIMES, I FORCED IT THROUGH. A COUPLE OF TIMES, WE LUBRICATE THE CABLE AND IT WORKED FINE. YESTERDAY, I SPEEDED UP TO PASS THE CAR WHICH WAS TOO SLOW IN FRONT OF ME. THEN, MY CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF AND I COULD HARDLY STOP. I ALMOST WRECKED INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A STOP LIGHT. I MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR BUT THE BREAK WAS BATTLING WITH THE ENGINE. WHEN I LET GO OF THE BREAK, THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF. SO, I HAD TO USE MY BREAK A LOT TO REACH A LOCAL MECHANICS. HE LUBRICATED THE CABLE AND TOLD ME THAT THE CABLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THAT THE CABLE HAD TO BEEN REPLACED. IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $300.00 INCLUDING LABOR. LATER, THE MECHANIC AT FORD SHOWED ME THE CABLE. PART OF THE CABLE WAS CONCEALED INSIDE A PLASTIC TUBE AND THIS PART WAS ALL MESSED UP AND KEEP BREAKING OFF. BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN THE DIAMETER OF THE CABLE AFTER I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CABLE WOULD NOT GO BACK ONCE IT WAS OUT. THEREFORE, MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING YESTERDAY. I AGREED WITH FORD TO FIX IT AT MY COST BUT I AM ANXIOUS ABOUT THE CAR QUALITY AS WELL OTHER PEOPLE'S SAFETY. I COULD HAVE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF I WAS NOT CALM ENOUGH. *TR
