One problem related to manual transmission floor shifter has been reported for the 2000 Ford Focus. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Ford Focus based on all problems reported for the 2000 Focus.
Front coil spring is fractured. Ford motor company's customer satisfaction program 03m02 only covers cars built through December 1999. My vehicle was built in may 2000. Ford's coverage does not extend to all affected vehciles or Ford has another problem with front coil springs on Focus. Very high efforts to shift in and out of 1st, 3rd and 5th gears - difficlult to shift gears resulting in increased time and attention to shift gears.
