Failure Date: 01/01/1901

2001 Ford Focus wore through an air conditioning hose. ** answer required*** the consumer stated the air conditioning hose was designed poorly. It hangs down between the front tires and if the tires come up against a curb, it smashes the hose into the alternator pulley. Not only that, if the hose breaks, it leaks oil and then a belt has to be replaced.
