VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A GREY, BLACKISH COLOR REFLECTING THROUGH THE VEHICLE'S WINDSHIELD. AS A RESULT, HE CAN NOT SEE THE AIR BAG, SPEEDOMETER, THE VENTS, AND A HUMP FIGURE. HE STATED THAT THE FAILURE PREVENTS HIM FROM SEEING THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HIM AND IS SIMILAR TO LOOKING THROUGH A SCREEN DOOR. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FAILURE THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON APRIL 28, 2007. FORD STATED THAT THERE IS NO RETURN POLICY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 200. UPDATED 05/21/07 *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
I HAVE SOME MAJOR CONCERNS WITH MY BRAND NEW FORD FOCUS. I WAS IN A VERY MINOR CAR ACCIDENT. THE ONLY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS A COUPLE OF CRACKS IN THE FRONT BUMPER, LOSS OF THE FORD EMBLEM AND CRACKED GRILL. THE FRONT WAS NOT CAVED IN OR THE GRILL EITHER. THE SUPPORT BRACKETS FOR THE GRILL WERE STILL IN TACT. ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO THE HOOD. AS I GOT BACK ONTO THE ROAD THE HOOD FLEW UP AND SMASHED OUT THE WINDSHIELD, AND SOME DAMAGE TO THE ROOF. THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY, IN MY OPINION, WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED. THE MIDDLE PART OF THE LATCH IS METAL BUT IT IS INCASED IN PLASTIC. KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN THE HOOD FLEW UP, THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE HOOD. THIS IS NOT A VERY GOOD SAFETY FEATURE FOR THE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY HAS THE VEHICLE INCURRED MORE DAMAGE THEN WAS NECESSARY, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE ELSE ON THE FREEWAY AS I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WILL THE HOOD COVERING MY WINDSHIELD. IF NEED BE I WILL GLADLY FORWARD PICTURES ON MY BADLY DAMAGED CAR. *NM

SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
RIGHT REAR SHOCK ABSORBER WAS LEAKING. THIS CAUSES PREMATURE TIRE WEAR (CUPPING) AND UNSAFE HANDLING CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON IT. SHOCK ABSORBER WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE FROM MANUFACTURER AND FORD FAILED TO INSPECT OR NOTICE THIS DEFECT. FORD REPLACED THE PART AT MY REQUEST AFTER I NOTICED LEAKING ITEM. FORD PART # 7S4Z*18125*AR. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON AN UPHILL SECTION OF ROAD (SLIGHT INCLINE) WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE WHILE STOPPED FOR A STOP SIGN, I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND BEFORE I COULD STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO REALIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND JAMMED DOWN THE GAS PEDAL TO AVOID ROLLING BACKWARD INTO THE NEXT CAR IN LINE BEHIND ME. A PERSON CROSSING THE STREET BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE CAR BEHIND WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED. I NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER CAR WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEFORE. THE FORD DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR A 2007 FORD FOCUS WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS ROLL BACK PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 FORD FOCUS AND IT IS FOUR MONTHS OLD WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES ARE BALD WITH DIFFERENT PATTERNS. THE TIRE THAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THE ONE THAT HAS A WAVE LIKE PATTERN ON IT. THE DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT ALL THE PEOPLE INCLUDING MECHANICS I SHOWED IT TOO BEFORE I WENT TO FORD SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE. *JB
