With no accident, trauma or unusual event, my air bag warning light began to come on and off intermittently. After about a week, it stayed on. I took it to a Ford dealership. For $119. 16, they diagnosed it as codes b1868 - airbag lamp failure and b2232 airbag circuit open loop #2 front driver's seat. It would cost $1,100 to replace the module.
Auto door lock does not function. I can hear what sounds like something happening or electric motor running when I push the button but nothing happens.
The ignition key would not turn. The repair cost $305 and Ford will not cover the expense under the extracare extended warranty. My research indicates that this is a problem that has been going on since 2000. I had a 2003 Ford Focus and I experienced the same exact problem. I assumed when I purchased my 2007 and 2010 Ford Focus that this problem had been addressed by Ford. I looked up the 2003 Ford Focus on your database and found 247 complaints regarding this problem. . The 2007 Ford Focus has only 10 complaints but it appears that the mileage has to be over 30,000 miles.
My 88 year old mother was pulling into her garage when grabbing the shifing lever to put it in park it came up out of the column along with the electrical connection causing the car to go forward and hit the boxes. The key was locked in place and the car wouldn't shut off. Piss poor design of screw holding the shifter on and the connection for the power.
One of the rear doors will not lock. The dealership informed us the motor needed replaced. This was shocking news since the car has relatively low mileage compared to this type of needed repair.
Just purchased a 2007 Ford Focus hatchback two weeks ago. It had 29000 miles on it. Hardly driven. I drove an hour away from my home, yesterday,two weeks after purchasing it. The radio went black, all lights and gages followed. I was able to drive it approx. 2 miles to a truck stop, before the car died, and I called for roadside assistance. After realizing that it's probably the alternator, I did a search online and realized that many people have dealt with this exact same issue in the exact same type of car, around the same mileage. Nothing has been done by Ford to correct this issue and I think they should. I was on a busy highway with my girlfriend and her 9 year old daughter, who was terrified of the whole situation of being stranded in the dark at night. I have also learned that people have needed to replace the alternator in these cars more than one time, after the initial episode. I had to have my car towed and it cost me $100. I haven't even made my first monthly payment on this car yet !!! now im looking at spending anywhere from $400-$700 to fix a car that I purchased, less than 3 weeks ago. Had there been a recall from Ford on this, I would either have never had to deal with it, or I could have taken the car in when I purchased it and had it serviced, free of charge. I know that there are plenty of complaints about it on the internet to constitute a recall. I hope this helps in getting that done. Where do I stand, if a recall is announced after I have spent the money to rectify the situation myself??.
I have a 2007 Ford Focus,my windshield started with a small crack coming from the fire wall area,below the dashboard. Over a few days it have grown in size,and another crack has started about two inches from where the first crack started. Neither crack is from impact with a foreign object.
