1. everyday city driving with use a turnsignal. Cracking sounds started coming from the steering wheel. And the turning mechanism now fails to turn off automatically. 2. the turn signal doesnt turn off automatically after turning or passing. 3. parts where purchased but never put on, because the labor to replace the broken part is very expensive, requiring the removal of the steering wheel/airbag. 4. according to a Focus enthusiast site. This problem is very common place.

The engine stalls while driving as if it is going to shut down. The signal lights will not stop blinking when making left or right turns. This was repaired by East Ford in Feb 2001 and this problem is back again. I feel that these are more defects in the Focus.
