2010 Ford Focus

CAR STALLS WHEN NO FUEL IS GIVEN, IE: AT RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, EVEN JUST SLOWING DOWN WHILE MAKING A TURN. OCCURS ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. BROUGHT CAR INTO MECHANIC - DID DIAGNOSTIC, ETC. COULD FIND NOTHING TO CAUSE ENGINE TO DIE SUDDENLY. HAVE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT FORD DEALER.

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 NOTHING I HAD TRIED TO CHANGE OUT TRANSMISSION OIL AND IT WORKED FOR A WHILE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT ON A GRANT. AND I FEEL FORD RISKED MY LIFE BY NOT INFORMING ME HOW BAD THE TRANSMISSION IS ON THIS VEHICLE PLUS ON MY SERVICE HISTORY THEY LIED AND SAID THEY SERVICED MY CAR WHICH IS NOT THE CASE.

IT STARTED AT ON TIME WHEN GOING TO EXIT THE STATIONARY CAR, I COULD NOT EXIT THE CAR BECAUSE THE LOCK WOULD NOT UNLATCH, YOU COULD NOT OPEN THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER DOORS FROM INSIDE OUR OUTSIDE. NOW IT HAS MOVED ON TO ALL THE DOORS, SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND OPEN SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE 3 TIMES ALREADY FOR THE SAME ISSUE EACH TIME, IN THE HANDLE LATCH ITSELF THERE IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE THAT KEEPS BREAKING INSIDE THE HANDLE NOT ALLOWING THE HANDLE TO PULL OPEN THE DOOR. AND NOW THE LAST ISSUE WHEN TAKING OFF THE LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES THEY LOCK SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK MY CAR WHEN LEAVING IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF AND WHEN THE LOCKS WILL OPEN AS WELL AS WHICH DOOR WILL CHOOSE TO REMAIN CLOSED AND NOT OPEN....I HAVE HAD TO GO IN THROUGH THE TRUNK SEVERAL TIMES QUIET EMBARRASSING. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL FORD COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES FOR THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE, THEY TELL ME IT IS MY PROBLEM NOT A MANUFACTURES DEFECT..ONE DOOR YES I COULD UNDERSTAND ALL FOUR DOORS NO THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN NOT ALWAYS GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE DOOR WILL OPEN PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS I HAVE DEALT WITH IT LONG ENOUGH AND CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO WORRY ABOUT MY CHILD'S SAFETY, MY SAFETY OR THE LACK THERE OF PROTECTION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK MY OWN CAR WITHOUT KNOWING IF I CAN GET BACK IN LET ALONE SOMEONE ELSE GETTING IN. THIS HAS DATED BACK TO WHEN MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY FELL OFF.

MY 2010 FORD FOCUS SES DOOR SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING OUT OF NO WHERE. SOMETIMES MY DOOR LOCKS WON'T LOCK, SOMETIMES THEY WON'T UNTIL TO THE POINT I CAN GET OUT OF MY CAR. THE OWNER BEFORE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM AND GOT THEM FIXED. NOW MY REAR DOOR WON'T OPEN AT ALL. A COUPLE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO THEY REPORT SIMILAR THINGS. THIS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM.. I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD IS SCARY KNOWING SOMETHING COULD HAPPENED I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET HER OUT BECAUSE OF THIS DOOR ISSUES. SINCE IT'S ALREADY BEEN FIXED, I'M NERVOUS TO FIX IT ALSO AND IT GOES BACK TO THIS.

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 (I OWNED THE CAR OUTRIGHT AND ONLY HAD LIABILITY COVERAGE) AND FORD TOTALLY BLEW ME OFF. HAVE PICTURES, BUT THEY LOOK LIKE ANY OTHER CAR WITH AN ENGINE FIRE.

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 THE SAME ISSUE COSTING THE CUSTOMER A FINANCIAL BURDEN DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH FORD UPDATED THE ORIGINAL DESIGN TO FIX THE ISSUE, ADMITTING TO THE BAD DESIGN SOLD TO THE PUBLIC. PEOPLE WERE TRAPPED IN THE CAR AND CANNOT GET OUT DUE TOO DOORS NOT DISENGAGING, THE HANDLES ARE STIFF/LOCKED
