problem #1

May 252004

Focus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,300 miles
I purchased my 2001 Ford Focus in October 2001. In April 2003, I had to get the front brakes, pads, shoes and rotors replaced. This is after I had always taken my car in for scheduled maintenance. I was told that none of this was covered. I was out of over $400. The same thing has happened again 13 months later. Everything needs to be replaced. The majority of my driving is highway and I can't get an explanation from Ford. I purchased a lemon. The switch also broke on my turn signals. It would not automatically turn off. This happen in Feb. 2003. Again, a year later, the same thing has happened. Someone needs to look into this.
