UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2000 (4DR) FORD FOCUS WAGON SE ON 06/17/00 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE EVER SINCE. HERE IS A LIST OF MY COMPLAINTS CONSTANT CLICKING AND SCREECHING NOISE WHEN I TURN OR GO OVER A BUMP SOUNDS AS IF THE CAR HAS ARTHITIS PROBLEMS SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER 3 OR 4 ATTEMPTS LEFT BACK WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN & ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT HEARD IT SINCE SUMMER THE WINDOWS MAKE NOISE WHEN OPERATED LIKE GLASS RUBBING AGAINST METAL LUBERICATE ALL OF THE CAR DOORS ONCE A MONTH BECAUSE THEY SCREECH EXTREMELY LOUD WHEN OPENED OR SHUT I HAVE BEEN IN ALMOST 4 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SEVERE BLIND SPOTS ON BOTH THE L & R SIDES OF THE CAR NIGHT DRIVING BAD - THE CAR SITS AT A DOWNWARD ANGLE WHICH ALLOWS REAR VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS TO BLIND YOU WITH YOUR OWN REARVIEW AND SIDE MIRRORS - THIS MAKES VISIBILITY IMPOSSIBLE & VERY DANGEROUS A SOUR-VINEGAR LIKE SMELL APPEARS SOMETIMES ON 02/23/02 @ SEARS AUTO CENTER I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES DUE TO BOWED/BUCKLED - ODOMETER WAS AT 22114 - PAID OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE TIRES $508.46 MECHANIC COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL FORD & GET REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRES - I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR NO REIMBURSEMENT. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A DIRECT TIRE ISSUE BUT A CAUSE ISSUE FROM THE CAR ITSELF SAFTEY RECALL 00S31 EVERYTIME I HIT A PUDDLE AFTER RAIN THE ENGINE MAKES A SCREAMING SOUND & LOSES SOME POWER. AFTER TAKE THE CAR HESITATES LIKE IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL GEAR? WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY IS FORD NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A BAD PRODUCT AND A TOTAL RECALL ON THE CAR ITSELF? THIS CAR HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, FORD DOES NOT GIVE YOU A LOANER FOR ITS BAD PRODUCT & THE MOST THEY WILL SAY IS WE ARE SORRY TO INCONVENIENCE YOU OR WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS SITUATION. I DO NOT WANT THEIR SYMPATHY I WANT A CAR NOT JUST PRICED AT 19,750.97 BUT VALUED AT $19,750.97. I WANT A CAR THAT IS SAFE & RELIABLE!
