2010 Ford Focus

I BOUGHT A 2010 FORD FOCUS IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTILL NOW. I WAS DRIVING UP THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE LOST ITS POWER COMPLETLY AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE 3 THINGS I HAVE FOUND COMMON WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS THAT MY RPMS ARE AT 1.5 TRYING TO PUSH TO 2...THE MPH IS ABOUT 45 TO 50 AND I HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS A FEW DAYS PRIOR AND WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 3/4 TANK FULL. I PULL IT OVER TO PARK AND IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I HAVE NO POWER IN THE GAS PEDAL. I TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE THEN TRY TO START IT UP AGAIN AND IT TAKES A BIT FOR IT TO TURN OVER. THEN ITS RUNNING FINE..THAT IS UNTILL IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS WEEK WILL BE THE 3RD TIME THE DEALER HAS MY CAR TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME NOTHING.G IS WRONG AND THEY ARENT PICKING UP ANY CODES. I ASKED THEM IF THEY LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THEY SD YES. THEY HAVE GONE TO FORD THIS TIME TO FIND SOME KIND OF ANSWER. THIS CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 20K MILES ON.IT. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY THANK GOODNESS OTHERWISE I WOULD BE SCREWED. *TT

I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM AS COMPLAINT FILED ODI10307817. I WOULD HAVE A LOUD NOISE LIKE THE CAR SUSPENSION WAS BOTTOMING OUT WHEN GOING OVER MODERATE BUMPS. I ALSO HAD EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON FRONT TIRES AT ONLY 32000 MILES, FRONT TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED. FORD SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OF BOTTOMING OUT AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING FORD FINALLY FIXED EVERYTHING BUT SAID THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUBFRAME HAD TO BE ADJUSTED AND BECAUSE OF THAT AN ALIGNMENT HAD TO BE PERFORMED. I EVEN FOUND ON FORD'S WEBSITE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THERE SERVICE TECHNICIANS FOR THE LOUD NOISE WHEN BOTTOMING OUT. *TR

2010 FORD FOCUS WAS HAVING ROUGH IDLING WHILE STOPPED AND THE CAR BEING ON AND ON PARK. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED AND FIXED IT. IT STOPPED DOING THAT FOR A FEW DAYS THEN IT STARTED BACK AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A DAY AND A HALF AND WHEN THEY RETURNED IT THEY DIDN'T SAY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT THEY JUST CLEANED OUT THE THROTTLE AS PER THE PAPERWORK THE GAVE ME. THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE GAS PEDAL (ACCELERATION) STOPPED WORKING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON! IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE REALLY DON'T PAY ATTENTION ON THE FREEWAY I ALMOST GOT REARENDED. SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AT ALMOST 10PM SATURDAY NIGHT. COME MONDAY AFTERNOON THEY WANTED TO RELEASE THE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I TOLD THEM THERE IS NO WAY I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK. A CAR DOESN'T STOP WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FOR NO REASON NOW COME WED. STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING AS OF YET!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED THE ENGINE BEGAN TO IDLE VERY LOUDLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

NOISES COMING FROM TRANSMISSION.....SOUNDS LIKE GEARS POSSIBLY GRINDING A BIT? HAD DEALER CHECK OUT PROBLEM, SAID FORD CO. WAS AWARE OF NOISES BUT MAY WAIT TILL FURTHER COMPLAINTS COME IN. DEALER TOLD ME TO CALL OR COME BACK IF GETS WORSE..ITS GETTING WORSE. CAR IS ABOUT 2 MONTHS OLD WITH 1800 MILES ON IT, 4 SPEED AUTO TRANNY. NOISE IS MOST PROMINENT WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS AND ACCELERATING AND STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. *TR

FOUR WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FOCUS, I TURNED ON THE A/C AND TO MY SURPRISE THE A/C NEVER GOT COLD. I HAD IT RUNNING FOR 20 MINUTES BUT IT NEVER GOT COLD. THE NEXT DAY CALLED AND TOOK THE CAR TO BE CHECKED OUT, THEY KEPT IT TWO DAYS AND HAD ME COME PICK IT UP SAYING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO INVESTIGATE. THE NEXT DAY I GOT A CALL FROM FAIRFIELD FORD SAYING THAT THERE WAS A OBJECT IN THE A/C AND NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY! WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY IT WAS STILL COLD WEATHER SO NEVER TURNED ON THE A/C WHEN I DID THE TEST DRIVE, NEVER WOULD THINK THAT A ALMOST NEW CAR THAT IS PRE-OWNED WOULD HAVE A BAD A/C SYSTEM!! I TRULY THINK THE A/C WAS BAD AND THEY KNEW IT PRIOR TO SELLING THE CAR TO ME. NOW HAVING SQUEAKS WHEN I BACK OUT MY GARAGE IN THE MORNINGS, RECENTLY HAD IT CHECKED AND THE SAY MY BACK DRUMS ARE NO LONGER ROUND AND NEED TO BE RESURFACED OR REPLACED!! ONLY HAVE HAD THIS CAR 6 WKS NOW AND SO FAR HAVE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT, HAVE NOTIFIED THE BBB ABOUT THE A/C, GUESS NOW HAVE TO CONTACT THEM ABOUT THE BRAKES TOO.! *TR
