I WORK FOR A GOODYEAR CO. AND EVERYTIME THERE IS A PROBLEM I HAVE ONE OF OUR TECHS. CHECK IT OUT FOR ME. FIRST IT WAS THE BRAKES I WAS TAKING MY CHILDREN TO THE MOVIES,AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING SPACE I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE.THE NEXT DAY AT WORK I HAVE AUTO TECH. INSPECT MY BRAKES I HAD LESS THAN 10% LEFT ALL AROUND AND THE FRONT ROTORS WERE CRACKED! MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE DIED! I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO MARINA FORD THEY REPLACED FRONT ROTORS,PADS AND REAR SHOES. THREE WEEKS LATER PADS WERE DOWN TO 10% I DID NOT BOTHER GOING BACK TO THE DEALER. OUR TECH. AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT REPLACED MY BRAKES WITH GOOD QUALITY PADS AND SHOES. I HAD TH ISIDE PANEL REPLACED,THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR REPLACED AND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED! NOW MY LEFT FRONT TIE-ROD IS BENT,MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN THE GAS IS AT THE 3/4 MARK AND WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS,THE EMISSION LIGHTS UP AND THE CAR STOPS! THIS IS A PROBLEM CAR THE FORD FOCUS. I FOUND A WEB SITE AND THER IS OVER A THOUSAND CONSUMERS WHO ARE NOT PLEASED WITH THEIR FOCUS TOO!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD, WHEN A CAR SUDDENLY SWERVED IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 25-28MPH, YET THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP, THOUGH I PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. LUCKILY, THE DRIVER WHO HAD SWERVED IN FRONT OF ME, NOTICED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP, SO SHE SPED UP CONSIDERABLY. IF IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOR THAT, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY CRASHED INTO HER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BRAKE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR "ALL POINTS CHECK" INDICATES THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY. TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR, IT BEGAN MAKING EXTREMELY LOUD SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. YET, NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME. I TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED ANOTHER CAR, BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY $3,000 TO BREAK MY LEASE. I EXPLAINED THAT IT IS NOT FOR LUXURY REASONS THAT I WANT MY VEHICLE REPLACED, BUT FOR SAFETY REASONS. THEY STILL CONTINUE TO BULLY ME AROUND, BECAUSE I'M A YOUNG, SINGLE FEMALE. THOUGH THIS CAR HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS, I SOMETIMES CHOOSE TO DISREGARD THEM, BECAUSE I WOULD PREFER TO AVOID ANY INTERACTION WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE SO MANIPULATIVE AND HEARTLESS. PLEASE DOCUMENT THIS, AS I HAVE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES, TO NO AVAIL. THANK YOU.*AK
