2007 Ford Focus

WHILE DRIVING THE PULL LOOP ON THE BACK OF MY LEFT SHOE BECAME ENTANGLED WITH THE DRIVERSIDE SEAT ADJUSTER LEVER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE MY FOOT FORWARD TOWARDS THE PEDALS I WAS UNABLE AS MY SHOE WAS STUCK. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND HAS INTERFERED WITH THE SAFE OPERATIONS OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AN EXTENDED ROAD TRIP. I GO TO STRETCH MY KNEE OUT, BRING MY FOOT BACK TOWARDS THE SEAT AND THEN CAN NOT MOVE FORWARD AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DOORS EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED BAXTER FORD SOUTH (9203 S 145TH ST, OMAHA, NE 68138, (855) 985-0071), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS. BOUGHT FROM PRIVATE PARTY. HAVE HAD NO MAJOR ISSUES TILL A FEW DAYS AGO. WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME VERY LOOSE. YOU CAN MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH WITH ABOUT AN INCH OF PLAY IT DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE, ALL DIRECTIONS.. TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND ASKED IF THIS MODEL HAS HAD ISSUES WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME KNOW. IN LOOKING ON INTERNET, I FIND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND WITH VIDEOS OF EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE. BASICALLY THE WHEEL NUT THAT HOLDS THE STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE COMES LOOSE. I SHOULD ALSO STATE THAT MY CAR PRESENTLY HAS ONLY 100,200 MILES ON IT, SO WHILE OLDER YEAR WISE, IT DOESN'T HAVE EXCESSIVE MILES DRIVEN AND FOR AMOUNT OF TIME. I FIND HIGHLY UNUSUAL THAT IT WOULD COME LOOSE. I HAVE TALKED TO FRIENDS AND KNOW OF NO ONE ELSE THAT HAS EVER HAD A STEERING WHEEL COME LOOSE. IT IS LOOSE DRIVING, PARKED, OFF . NOTHING MATTERS.

MY AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT THE LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO OUT, ALSO THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT THE VEHICLE HAVE UNDER 90 THOUSAND MILES ON IT I HAVE AFRAID TO DRIVE FOR THOSE REASONS IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2006 NEW WITH 2 TENS OF A MILE ON IT. I SENT AN EMAIL A YEAR OR SO AGO AND NEVER HEARD FROM YOU ALL. CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AIRBAG OVER $400 DOLLARS AND SO IS THE POWER STEERING.THANKS IN ADVANCE.

FIRST THING IS THE DRIVER SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. WENT TO OPEN DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT WORK. NOW I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. BUT SAME THING HAPPENED TO PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CULPRIT IS A PLASTIC PIECE INSIDE OF PANEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. LOOKS LIKE TO ME READING OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED AGAINST FORD. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. A RECALL DEFIANTLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE GOES WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS EQUIPPED WITH DEXTERO TOURING DTR1 TIRES, SIZE: 195/4/60/R15 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE INADVERTENTLY EXPLODED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL, BUT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY. THE CONTACT PLACED THE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE CENTER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR ROAD HAZARD INSURANCE PURCHASED. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,200 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASHBOARD WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST DEPENDING ON TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, BUT FOR PAST TWO YEARS IT HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY. HAVE CHECKED WIRING HARNESS UNDERNEATH FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SINCE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE AT TIMES, BUT NO LONGER DOES.
