2007 Ford Focus

I GOT MY VEHICLE FROM AN AUCTION SITE, SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY HISTORY ON IT BEFORE 2016. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AT REGULAR INTERVALS, ESPECIALLY, WHEN THE CAR IS IN EXTREMELY COLD OR HOT TEMPERATURES. THE GAS PEDAL, ALSO, GETS STUCK, REGULARLY, I WOULD HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MY PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING. I HAVE NOTICED THIS, OVER THE YEARS, WITH THE CAR IN STATIONARY MODE AND WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING BUT, ESPECIALLY, AFTER HAVING TO PERFORM A HARD BRAKE IN TRAFFIC. I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING ON THE GAS PETAL TO GET IT TO RELEASE ITSELF FROM WHATEVER IT IS ALLOWING GETTING STUCK TO, THEN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR IS BETTER, UNTIL THE NEXT TIME OF IT HAVING TO BE UNSTUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE BUT, THE MECHANICS DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM DESCRIBING. OF COURSE, WHEN THESE PERSONS TEST DRIVE MY CAR THEY DO NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM, LIKE I DO, SO THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION IN MY POSSESSION ON ANY OF THESE ISSUES. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE KEY IGNITION SWITCH SYSTEM, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH COIL THINGY. I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE OF SOMETHING NEW HAPPENING WITH THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEING DRAINED BECAUSE OF THE KEY NOT BEING ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE COIL, AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME, AGAIN, IN HIGHWAY DRIVING SPEEDS OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE BEEN GOING TO HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY FEEDBACK AS TO WHAT TO DO, OTHER THAN TO JUST SAY BUY A NEWER VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN HEARING A SOUND, RECENTLY, WHEN THE KEY IS ABOUT TO COME OUT OF THE SWITCH THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CLICKING RELEASE SYSTEM CLICK. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF A SPRING IS BAD IN THE SYSTEM. THESE ARE ALL UNKNOWN COMPONENTS PARTS, BY THE TECHNICAL NAME, HOWEVER, THE ISSUES ARE REAL IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS THAT I DRIVE ON.

ON AN ICY ROAD I BRAKED AND THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED SLOWING THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS MUCH FARTHER BEFORE BRAKING OCCURS DURING NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. IF I PUMP THE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES THE BRAKE PEDALS ENGAGES THE BRAKES LIKE IT USED TO. A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BUSINESS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MY EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED IN FORD RECALL 19S54. I ALSO WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0R46_UNYYK8 DESCRIBING WHY MY BRAKE PEDAL IS ACTING DIFFERENTLY AFTER THE ABS EVENT. MY FORD DEALER TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ACTIVE FOR MY VEHICLE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS.

LOVE MY FORD FOR THE MOST PART; HOWEVER, THERE SEEMS TO BE A MULTITUDE OF SENSOR PROBLEMS ... THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND HAS TO BE REST AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE "OPEN DOOR" LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE RUNNING. TRUNK OPENING BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE WINDOW CLOSING BUTTON ONLY WORKS PART TIME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE KNOBS FOR THE HEATING/AC NO LONGER WORK. THE AIR DIRECTIONAL BUTTON HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. RECENTLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS STILL WORKING. I PURCHASED MY 2007 FF IN 2011, PAID IT OFF IN 2016. IT NOW HAS OVER 235K MILES ON IT. WHILE ALL THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN A NUISANCE TO CONTEND WITH IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO OWN. I CURRENTLY AM WORKING ON GETTING THE GASKET CHANGED FOR A SECOND TIME, BUT THAT IS WORK MY SON TAKES CARE OF. I HAVE RELUCTANTLY BEGAN BEGAN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, AS THIS ONE IS FINALLY WEARING OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT OF HER. THE RESULT WAS THAT SHE BROADSIDED THE VEHICLE AT 35 MPH. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDES. ONE PASSENGER WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE WITH CHEST PAINS TO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL JUNK YARD AND NO ESTIMATE HAS BEEN PERFORMED YET. THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. *TR

GOT THE CAR 3 YEARS ABOUT A YEAR AGO I ADDED MY CAR READER TO MY VEHICLE AT THAT TIME IT SHOWED ME THE TWO RECALLS I THINK IT'S CAUSING MY CAR TO DIE ON ME AS I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD THIS START A WEEK AGO AND IN STILL WITHOUT A VEHICLE I WAS BROKE SKYLAND LANE ON MEMORIAL AND I BROKE DOWN. ON EASTMAN RD LAST NIGHT GOING HOME LOST ALL POWER. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND COME AND GOES THIS CAR HAS NEVER WRECKED OR IN ANY DAMAGE TO IT. NOTHING WAS EVECTIVTED TO MAKE THE LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED TO GET IT RELPACED ASAP DUE TO THE FACT IF CAN GO OUT ANY SEC. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CAN NOT GO AND REPLACED A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE NO RESULT FROM MYSELF

IN DEC. 12-23 A DEER LANDED IN FRONT OF US AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A ON HIGHWAY AND GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. DEER DAMAGED HOOD RADIATOR ETC. BIGGEST CONCERN . BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE POWDER. RIGHT AFTER THE INITIAL IMPACT I SAID OPEN THE DOOR OPEN THE WINDOW CUZ THE DUST WAS FLYING AROUND THE CAR AND I BELIEVE I INHALED SOME IN MY THROAT UP MY NOSE THAT WAS REALLY BAD . THE DUST SMELLS BAD IRRITATING EYES THROAT. AS A COUPLE DAYS WENT BY. THROAT VERY SORE COUGHING OFF AND ON. ? THE CHEMICALS ? TOXIN,, CAN THEY CAUSE PROBLEMS LATER. INSIDE BOTH NAZAL PASSAGES VERY CRUSTY AND DRIED BLOOD. SMALL SKIN BURN ON MID NOSE. ALSO HEADACHES , FEEL DAZED, HAIR AND FACE HAD A WEIRD SMELL , ALSO SEVERE RINGING IN EARS. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED IF THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES WITH TOXIC CHEMICALS AND WHAT HELP CAN I GET TO RESOLVE THIS AND I AM CONCERNED. THE POLICE CAME RESCUE CAME WE A GRATEFUL WE WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY BUT SOMETIMES PROBLEMS OCCUR A FEW DAYS LATER. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESPIRATORY IMPACT AND IRRITATION IF THE CHEMICALS CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS LATER. ON 12-25-19. I JUST DONT FEEL RIGHT. HEADACHES ALSO RESPIRATORY AND THROAT CONCERNS.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD FOCUS ZX5 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL SWITCHES AND CABLES I HAVE REPLACED THESE SEVERAL TIME FROM THE CONTROL LEVER CABLE,HEAT CONTROL CABLE THEY HAVE BOTH BROKE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WILL WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN THEY BREAK OR WILL NOT WORK, I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE WHOLE CONTROL SWITCH WITH HEAT, CLIMATE CONTROL, AND SPEED AND THE CABLES AND THE MECHANISM THAT IT HOOKS UP TO AND WITHIN A WEEK IT DOES NOT WORK AGAIN, WHEN I GO FROM VENT TO DEFROST IT WILL NOT GO TO DEFROST IT IS ON THE VENTS WITH THIS BEING SAID THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOUR F=DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER IT COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. I HAVE LOOKED UP THESE ISSUES AND ALL OF THE OLDER FOCUSES HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE THERE ARE TONS OF VIDEOS AND FORMS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND IF YOU CALL FORD THEY ADVISE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THAT IS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURES MAKE CARS CHEAP AND SELL THEM AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLES SAFETY. WHAT HAPPENS ON THESE CARS THAT THE FLAP DOOR IN THE DASH IN FRONT OF THE HEATER CORE IS SO CLOSE THAT IT MELTS THE DOOR SO THAT THE FLAP DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WHAT THIS SHOULD HAD BEEN MADE OUT OF IS A AVIATION TYPE ALUMINUM AND THE HOUSING AROUND IT SO IT DOES NOT MELT AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE IN THE DASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. LAST WEEK WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PULLING INTO HER GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FORCE OF THE CRASH LOOSENED THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER STATED THAT THEY WOULD MAIL A REPAIR ESTIMATE. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO VISIT A COLLISION SHOP BEFORE GOING TO A DEALER. DONNELL FORD (7955 MARKET ST, YOUNGSTOWN, OH 44512) WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND BELIEVED THE THROTTLE BODY MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I WAS GOING ABOUT 10 MPH THROUGH A CITY STREET INTERSECTION WHEN I RAN OVER AN UNCOVERED WATER VALVE PIPE IN A DEPRESSION SIMILAR TO, BUT SMALLER THAN, A STANDARD MANHOLE WELL. EACH LEFT TIRE RAN OVER THE UNCOVERED WATER VALVE. THERE WAS A LOUD POP, AND I BLACKED OUT. THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT AFTER THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SUSTAINED DAMAGE THAT RESULTED IN A FLAT TIRE SHORTLY THEREAFTER. ALSO, THE AIR BAG IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT DEPLOYED AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD, CAUSING ME TO BLACK OUT, AND PRODUCING AMNESIA AND OTHER MENTAL SYMPTOMS THAT LINGERED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IN ADDITION, I SUFFERED NECK AND BACK INJURIES FROM WHIPLASH. THE AIR BAG SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED BY AN UNDER-WHEEL IMPACT AT SUCH A LOW SPEED.
