problem #5

Dec 302011

Focus 4-cyl

  • 14,500 miles
I was driving around 10mph and getting into a turning lane when the front passenger side of my car hit the median which was no higher then a curb. After hitting the median the engine mounts broke off and part of the engine fell off the car. The impact caused no seeable damage to the outside of the car neither did the air bags deploy. There is no reason why hitting a curb at 10mph would cause the engine to pop out.

Focus

  • 1,300 miles
The contact owns a 2012 Ford Focus. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the motor mount fractured causing the motor to detach from the vehicle. The dealer advised the contact that she would be responsible for the repairs since it was not a defect and the failure occurred from an impact. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, offered no assistance. No repairs were performed. The current and the failure mileages were 1,300.

Focus

  • 2,500 miles
After a week of purchasing our brand new Focus started noticing the automatic tranny surges and slips. Like its bucking feeling. Sometimes it surges almost hard enough to put you on the dash. Kinda scary in traffic. Car has only 4500 miles on it and now has electrical problems in dash and upon going down the road you will vibrations like a bent axel or worn bearing. Its a new car!!!!!!!
