Ford Focus Change Vehicle

“Apparent leaking in power steering line caused wheel noise when turning”

“The struts needed to be replaced”

“A rear shock bolt came loose”

“One rear shock was leaking, replaced both”

“The suspension system bottoms out on small bumps, Ford claims this is normal”

“both the rear shocks and front struts wore out, the replacement rear shocks began to leak within a year. The failing struts compromised the front tires but the replacement tires wore out in less than six months. The leaking replacement shocks were completely covered by warranty, parts and labor; the worn tires were only 20% covered by my estimation”

“Les Schwab didn't properly tighten everything when they replaced the shocks and struts. It took 4 times going back before it was fixed by another location of the store. It had a noisy vibration prior to being fixed”

“were replaced at 35000 and again at 55000. Cheap OEM parts”

“worn struts compromised the front tires, however, the replacement tires lasted less than six months. The warranty on the tires essentially covered only 20% of my cost”

“needed alignment and new shocks and strus”

“needed an alignment”

“Wheel bearing was worn that precipitated replacement of CV axle”

“Wheel bearing failed and cause CV joint damage”

“The driver's seat springs & especially the struts squeak when getting in & out. This started after less than 3 years. Both drivers weigh under 200 lbs”

“Intermittent rear suspension squeak”

“emergency break cable rubbing on body”

“The car squeaks on every bump”

“Squeaks - don't know what to do about it”

“mildly annoying high pitched squeaking when on bumpy surfaces”

“Squeaks and rattles. I believe outs to to a poor suspension. New Michelin tires quickly wored out. Had to replace two. Told not under warranty due to car”

“The entire car vibrates when you are not depressing the accelerator. So much so that it is like talking into a box fan. I have researched the problem and it is bad motor mounts; however, Ford refuses to acknowledge the persistent problem has occurred since day one. In addition, the car also has squeaks from the doors when hitting bumps on the road”

“Most every passenger complains about whoosh of wind sound. Road noise seems loud even for a small car”

“Just so much wind noise”

“Air condition stopped working. Ford charged us almost $2000 to repair!!”

“Cold air was not blowing”

“The blower stream seems to be uneven at times and needed adjustment. I'm not sure if it is a separate problem or related to the compressor problems but refrigerant had to be added on other occasions although no leaks could be found”

“It failed. Spent $200 to recharge, then was told $2500 to repair. Negotiated and dealer picked up some cost and paid $800+tax for repair. Not impressed that it failed so soon”

“Apparently the original evaporator is known to go bad and develop leaks. Ford has issued a new design which costs over $800 just for the evaporator. Total cost to replace is nearly $2000 because the entire dashboard and steering column must be remo”

“Cracked evaporator coil, cost $1500 to repair”

“The evaporator failed and the auto repair shop said that it failed way too early (not 'old' enough to typically fail) based on their experience”

“The cost to fix the evaporator would have been over $2000.00 but I had purchased insurance which paid for most of it. My bill was over $500.00 for hoses, refrigerant etc”

“Coolant leaked from system. Dealer unable to detect any leak”

“The entire air conditioning system had to be replaced which is ridiculous for a car that only had about 24,000 miles on it. ' No more Fords for me”

“We still have not fixed it because the leak is under the dash and the labor expense is prohibitive. Plan on replacing the car soon”
