2010 Ford Focus

I BELIEVE THESE TWO ITEMS ARE RELATED: WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR MORE THE CAR DID NOT HAVE SMOOTH, CONSTANT ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE SURGES SLIGHTLY OFF AND ON WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CRUISE IS BEING USED OR NOT. WE TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY HOWEVER THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED PERIODICALLY. ALSO, WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE ON DIFFERENT DAYS WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. AT THE SAME TIME THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AFTER PULLING OVER AND CYCLING THE IGNITION. WE AGAIN TOOK IT TO A FORD WHO AGAIN CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE PRETTY SURE THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACEMENT BUT THEY CANNOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE "WRENCH" LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE A CODE. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE CAN REPLACE IT AT OUR OWN COST BUT THEY WON'T REPLACE IT AT THEIR COST WITHOUT A CODE (WHICH DOES NOT REGISTER).

DOOR LOCKS WORKING INTERMITTENT TO A POINT OF NOT UNLOCKING ALL TOGETHER. PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, FROM THE INSIDE, WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WITH CHILD PROTECTION LOCK DISENGAGED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF A FIRE OR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR. CHECKED ONLINE AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS ON FORD PRODUCTS.

I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT MY DOOR LOCKS ON THE BACK OF MY CAR FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF TO THREE YEARS AND NO ONE LISTENS TO ME. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN. I CAN'T TAKE THEM WITH ME BECAUSE THE LOCKS DON'T UNLOCK. NOT A SAFE THING IF A ACCIDENT HAPPENED. COULDN'T GET ANYONE OUT OF BACK SEAT. PLEASE HELP ME. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS.

AIR CONDITIONER FAILING TO COOL. MY CAR HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN OCT 2009. I AM TOLD IT WILL BE ABOUT $1,600 OR MORE TO REPAIR THE AC. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON A CAR WITH 33,000 MILES ON IT. I AM TOLD THE DASH, STEERING COLUMN AND CONSOLE HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO REPAIR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO LAST ME THE REST OF MY LIFE. THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS FOR 36,000 WHICH OBVIOUSLY I AM UNDER BUT IT IS FIVE YEARS OLD. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT ON MY SS DISABILITY INCOME AND CAN'T LIVE IN TEXAS WITHOUT AC.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH HAD BEEN STICKING ON OCCASION, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. IN MID-MAY, WE BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE DOOR TO LATCH WHEN BEING SHUT. AT TIMES IT WOULD LATCH AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, OR WHEN BEING SLAMMED EXTREMELY HARD. IN MID-JULY, THE LATCH STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. WE NOW HAVE THE DOOR STRAPPED SHUT FROM THE INSIDE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN TAKING MORE THAN ONE PASSENGER, AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM SOUNDS EACH TIME YOU TURN A CORNER.
