2007 Ford Focus

SEVERE TIRE WOBBLE. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT NEEDED ALIGNMENT AND 2 NEW TIRES. TOOK TO A TIRE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY OF THE SAME CARS IN THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S THAT THE REAR WHEELS ARE TOED-IN 50% TO MUCH FROM THE FACTORY SPECS AND IT JUST CHOPS THE TIRES UP. THE CAR NEEDS 2 NEW TIRES AND A ALIGNMENT JOB TO FIX THE PROBLEM FROM THE FACTORY. I FEEL THAT THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR IT , SINCE IT COMES OFF THE LINE LIKE THAT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK AND KILLED A HORSE. THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND HEAD INJURIES AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

MY DAUGHTER WAS RECENTLY IN A HORRIFIC CAR CRASH IN HER BRAND NEW 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CAR FLIPPED, HIT A TELEPHONE POLE (REAR END) LANDED ON THE TOP AND ROLLED. THE AIRBAGS (FRONT AND SIDE) NEVER DEPLOYED. MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES AND CUTS, SCRAPES & BRUISES - BUT THANK GOD SURVIVED. ARE THERE ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAGS ON THE 2007 FOCUS? *TR

I OWN A 2007 FORD FOCUS. I PURCHASED THE SE MODEL NEW BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON 4/5/08 WHERE A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER. HER FOCUS HIT THE CAR DEAD CENTER BETWEEN THE DRIVERS CAR DOOR AND THE PASSENGER CAR DOOR. THE IMPACT WAS ALMOST A PERFECT FRONTAL IMPACT WHICH DESTROYED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE FOCUS. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED A BRUISED CHEST, NECK AND BACK PAIN FROM THE SEAT BELT. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS ON THE FORD FOCUS ON FRONTAL IMPACTS. I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO NICHOLS FORD IN FORT WORTH, TX. I HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED THE CONSUMER DEPARTMENT OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF THE COMPLAINT. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH A FRIEND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH WE HIT NOTHING THANK GOD IT WAS NOT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG THE CAR IS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WE HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT AND TOLD US TO GO TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. WE HAD TO PAY A 500.00 THEY FOUND THAT THE COMPUTER RECORDED A HEAD ON ACCIDENT WHICH WILL NOT BE ERASED SO THE CAR VALUE IS NOW LOST THEY TOOK PICTURES OF EVERYTHING SHOWING NO ACCIDENT AT ALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHANGED ALL THE SENSORS AND THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF IT INDICATED A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT SO THE SENT IT TO THOROUGHBRED FORD AND SAID THEY DID NOT CARE WHAT THEY HAD TO DO BUT FIX THE CAR SO THE DID. IT COST ME 500.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND THE INSURANCE CO 1,800.00 SO NOW THE ARE WAITING FOR FORD TO EXCEPT LIABILITY. WE NO NOT FEEL OUR SON IS SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR I FEEL MOST ACCIDENTS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS WHICH HAPPENED FIRST AN ACCIDENT OR THE AIR BAG. WE COULD HAVE LOST FOUR YOUNG MEN BECAUSE OF THIS I AM VERY ANGRY WITH THIS TOTAL PROCESS IT TOOK 3 WEEKS TO GET THE CAR BACK THIS ALSO INVOLVED MISSING WORK CLASSES AND ALOT OF TROUBLE WITH TRANSPORTATION I WISH THEY WOULD TAKE THIS CAR OFF THE ROAD SO IF AND WHEN IT IS SOLD I DO NOT HAVE THAT BURDEN OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE ON MY HEAD AND HEART. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS NEW 2007 FORD FOCUS ON 8-16-07 AND WHEN I LEFT AND HEADED DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY TIRES WHICH ARE PIRELLI P6 FOUR SEASONS 205/50R16 WERE MAKING A TERRIBLE THUMPING NOISE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS REASSURED BY THE SALESMAN THAT THE IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH LOW PROFILE TIRES. I TALKED TO HIM 5 OR 6 TIMES OVER A 2 TO 3 WEEK PERIOD AND HE KEPT TELLING ME THAT IS THE SOUND OF LOW PERFORMANCE TIRES. WELL I WENT IN FOR MY OIL CHANGE AND TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND MY TIRES WERE SHOT. THE TWO FRONT ONES WERE WORE ON THE INSIDE AND THE BACK TWO HAD A FUNNY WEAR PATTERN THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO HAVE 4 NEW TIRES PUT ON AND A ALIGNMENT. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND I WAS PUT OFF. I WAS TOLD I HAVE NO WARRANTY WITH THE TIRES AS I WAS TOLD BY MY SALESMAN (WHO BY THE WAS IS NO LONGER THERE). I AM UPSET BECAUSE THE SERVICE GUY WHO MADE MY APPOINTMENT SAID THEY ARE SEEING THIS ALOT WITH THE 2007 FORD FOCUS PIRELLI TIRES BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW ONES. I DON'T THINK SO THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE A.S.A.P. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OUT ON THE ROAD. *TR
