2005 FORD FOCUS Complaints

2005 FORD FOCUS STATION WAGON REAR HATCH: THE WIRES THAT GO TO THE HATCH (NEAR THE TOP) ARE TOO SHORT AND SO WEAK THAT AFTER 26,000 MILES THE WIRES BROKE AND DUE TO THIS BREAK/SHORT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OUT OF "PARK". THE BRAKE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING AND IT BLOWS ONE FUSE AFTER ANOTHER FUSE. DUE TO THE WIRES BEING SO SHORT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR THE BREAKS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I SEE ON THE INTERNET. FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. *TR

I WAS JUST ABOUT PARKED WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. OVER THE CURB, THROUGH A WOOD FENCE AND INTO A CAMPING TRAILER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. TOYOTA IS NOT THE ONLY COMPANY WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAR WAS TOWED AWAY AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS REPAIRABLE OR IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL TOTAL IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE THE MOST CURRENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED NOR WAS THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

2005 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE TO INCLUDE STEERING COLUMN AND IGNITION SWITCH *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS A TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL AND IF PUSHED IN ALL THE WAY, IT WOULD CAUSE THE FUSE FOR THE IGNITION TO BLOW OUT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS STARTED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT RELEASE THE KEY WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE IS A FLAW WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. *JB

UPDATED 03/29/11*LJ UPDATED 1/5/12 *CN

JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. 'MY KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WAS STRANDED HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME" HOW THOUGHTFUL OF FORD TO ONLY CHARGE ME FOUR- HUNDRED DOLLARS! *TR

DOOR LATCHES WORK VERY BADLY ON PASENGER AND DRIVERS DOORS. FINALLY THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH BROKE. *TR

2005 FORD FOCUS ZXW WAGON. CONSUMER STATES A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT. DEALER REPAIRED BUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS BACK ON. HE BELIEVES THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT BE ENGAGED. *KB ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY.

MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER THE CA EMISSIONS WARRANTY, THERE IS A HOLE IN THE MANIFOLD. THE FORD DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR SINCE MAY 2010 CLAIMING THEY CAN'T GET THE PART COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY TO FIX MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN 9 MONTHS AND THEY KEEP POSTPONING THE DATE TO RECEIVE THE PART. *TR

2005 FORD FOCUS WILL NOT START WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS COLD OR WILL START BUT FOR NO APPARENT RESIN JUST STOPS RUNNING NO FUEL PRESSURE AND FUEL PUMP DOES NOT RUN WHEN THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS WORM THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS FINE DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY ENGINE FAULT COEDS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS SEEMS TO BE A FORD PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T WON'T TO EXCEPT. *TR
