2012 focus rust (bought brand new dec. 2012)
#2
(08-02-2013, 01:28 AM)powermax Wrote: My 2012 Focus SE 9000km bought dec. 12 2012 brand new, had a leaking valve cover gasket replaced , paint bubbling on the trunk lid (forgot to take pics fixed less than a week ago) now has rust between the rear window and trunk (pic attached) and my tranny is shuddering like there is no tomorrow when it shifts from 1st to 2nd going up hill (the whole cars shakes).

I'm beyond frustrated this is my second focus (first one was bought back for a faulty tranny).

This is the kind of thing the so-called lemon laws in the US were created for - unfortunately the only thing we have here anywhere close is CAMVAP.

My advice is to document the hell out of everything ... if you haven't already, start writing letters to Ford Canada (make sure to reference US-style Lemon Laws and CAMVAP, - tell them in no uncertain terms what you want - if it was the dealer who helped you get a replacement car in the first place, go back to them and get them to help again.

Good luck.
