2007 Ford Focus

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD STICK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO IT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND HAD OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND BECAME MORE FREQUENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE ACCELERATOR ON MY 2007 FORD FOCUS STATION WAGON WITH 50,000 MILES BEGAN STICKING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 40. I PRESS ON THE PEDAL AND IT WON'T MOVE, THEN IT JUMPS DOWN AND MOVES QUICKLY. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALER, AN ELECTRONIC PIECE, THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. ACCORDING TO THEM, FORD IS NOT MANUFACTURING THAT PART AND THE CAR CAN NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL THEY FIND A NEW SUPPLIER, POSSIBLY END OF JANUARY. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE DEC 6 WITH A STICKING ACCELERATOR AND IS NOT NOW CURRENTLY SAFE TO DRIVE OR FIXABLE. *TR

VEHICLE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTER WAS PUT IN PARK AND COULD MOVE TO REVERSE WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON ON SHIFTER. THE KEY DID NOT RELEASE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, SO THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTER WAS REPLACED AT DEALER. APPROX 47,000 MILEAGE ON VEHICLE AT A COST OF 200 DOLLARS. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME BACK THE OLD PART. *TR

FORD FOCUS 2007, 42,000 MILES. LIGHTS WENT OFF AND CAR STOPPED ( NO POWER AT ALL), DEAD) IN THE MIDDLE OF URBAN INTERSECTION WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS SAT. EVENING AND CAUSED SHOCK AND INCONVENIENCES TO DRIVER WHO MISSED IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ALTHOUGH THIS TIME AN ACCIDENT/CRASH WAS AVOIDED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY, DISREGARDING WARRANTY. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $683.00. A RECALL HAS TO BE FILED BECAUSE OF THE MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST FORD FOCUS 2007 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 42 MPH, THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND SUFFERED INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS WERE WET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FLOOR BOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT DIDN'T LOCATE WHERE THE FAILURE INITIATED THAT CAUSED THE FLOOR BOARD TO BE WET. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,301 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,543.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD FOCUS. I WAS SHOPPING AND WENT TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THE GEARSHIFT FELL APART IN MY HAND! THE WHOLE THING DISCONNECTED, WIRES HANGING OUT THE BOTTOM, NO WAY I COULD PUT IT BACK IN BY MYSELF, SO I WAS STRANDED UNTIL TOW SHOWED UP. WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THIS FALLS UNDER WARRANTY OR I WILL BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. TOTALLY TICKED OFF, EVEN MORE SO AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FINDING OUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS NOT FROM ABUSE OR NEGLECT ON THE PART OF THE DRIVER, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL IN PLACE SO THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THE DRIVERS END UP STRANDED?! *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON MY FORD FOCUS THREE TIMES IN 55,000. MILES. THE DEALER SAYS THAT FOCUSES "EAT TIRES" AND THAT I HAVE TO ROTATE EVERY OIL CHANGE. THAT DOESN'T EVEN HELP. I JUST KEEP BUYING TIRES TO BE SAFE. SOMEONE WITHOUT RESOURCES TO BUY NEW TIRES COULD HAVE A BLOW OUT ON THE ROAD AND IT WOULD BE THE FORD EXPLORER ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER FOCUS OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
