Quote:what happened?

Ford Screwed up the NA Focus launch. If you had 5 recalls within the first month of ownership you would think twice about that product in the future also. ;)

[sheridanford05]

I hear ya man, recalls are a piss off!! but its better then them not telling you!! or when you go in for your service and they do the recall then...like honda does. Recalls do suck, but they are letting everyone know they screwed up and are gonna fix it. Also...its stupid little stuff..like heated seats..yes there are bigger things but mostly small.

Lets see, engines catching fire, rear wheels falling off, suspension braking while driving, faulty fuel pumps.....

These arent small issues....actually borderline-life-threatning issues. :lol:

I guess I meant to say... "MY OPINION" is that the interior looks cheap. There is too much smooth, molded plastic on it. The ones I were looking at were automatics, and the center console around the shifter looked like ass. To me, anyways...

And the front grill and mirrors too. Just didn't like it. From a distance, the car looks REALLY cool, and I am sure its fun too drive too.

I guess I just like the leather wheel/shifter/etc and cloth door inserts in my Focus. The interior of the new Focus looks cheap too.

I really should post a picture of the mound of work orders I've had done on this car.

I've spent way too much time waiting for the dealer to fix my car to even consider another Ford.

[D-Dub]

I didnt like the 500 at first but it grew on me.

I dont care what you say 200hp in that car even with the cvt is slow, like someone said already you load that car up its going to take you forever to get up to speed and when its doing that at the same time you gas mileage is dusted.

I kinda like the mustang its a little to big on the exterior but its confortable inside and the interior is ok. What do you expect its a cheaply priced sports car, where else can you find a "NEW" 300 hp car for 32 grand?....IRS would be nice in it though this solid rear axle shits gotta go.

why drive a focus and spend time on here...organizing meets...if you hate your car so much and hate ford. Guys every company has its faults. GM, Honda, Chrysler! lol Chrysler love their trannys. I worked at Canadian Tire..i've seen it all!!! Fact of the matter is everyone beats up on Ford and its up a little annoying. cars are machines and they break down...thats why there is a warranty and recalls, but everyone does have their own opinion. Mine is....its all the same everywhere else! :D

Like Anthony said
"We love the car" it's the dealer we get pissed off at.
Every dealer has fixed or found problems but not all of
them truely get it fixed at all!
The lame talk, hope you won't notice.

This is where we vent!
This is were we can feel support answers ,fixes dealerships to avoid etc etc .


Dealers could learn something by just reading these threads.

My realtionshipo with my car is a strange one.

I complain, get pissed off at all the trouble it gives me...

But I love to drive it. Ans washing it is a theraputic treatment I can't explain. I always feel better after washing the car and listening to some tunes for a few hours.

And in the right light, if the sun is hitting just right... It is one of the nicet looking cars on the road.

I do love my car... I HATE the quality.
