problem #1

Oct 102008

Focus ZX4 SE 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,300 miles

This broke over a 100 miles from home with no warning. Had to get a very expensive tow. Belt shredded and jammed in various pulleys. Not only did the idler pulley break and take the belt with it, the tensioner pulley bearing was discovered bad at the same time. This Focus is a piece of junk!
