general problems of the 2009 Ford Focus

I have had the motor and transmission mounts replaced twice in the last two years on this vehicle. I was told to report it as that should never happen.

This is getting absolutely rediculous! I am on my sixth set of tires!! they wear uneven after less than 20k miles making a more than annoying wobble. I have gotten numerous alignments and new sway arm links. Dealership said I needed new bearings another alignment and another set of tires! at this point I have spent over $6000 on repairs to this vehicle all related to the same issue!!! theres obviously something wrong that Ford needs to fix! I have seen tons of complaints on here involving the same issue, so this is obviously not related to my driving. A recall needs to be made and this needs to be addressed! I did not buy this car brand new off the lot for 26k to have to keep dumping money into it! the fact that Ford will not own up to this being a horrible assembly/planning/product is appalling and I will never buy a Ford product again!!.

Wear and tear on wheels. Purchased the car brand new, 2 years after buying the car with only 21000 miles the original tires need to be replaced. Replaced tires and did a wheel alignment. 3 years later and only 23000 more miles and new tires again. Lug nuts were stripped and the tires were worn. The original tires were suppose to last 45,000 miles. The second set the same. Now the set I just purchased are goodyear with a 60000 mile tread. I also purchased a warranty. My car only has about 45000 miles on it and my original tires should have just recently been replaced not on my 3rd set.

Motor and transmission mounts need replacing on 2009 Ford Focus with only highway miles on it.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while the vehicle was being serviced for unrelated repairs, the contact was informed that the rear tires were cupping. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where it was confirmed that the tires were cupping and the shocks possibly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 78,343.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Focus. While driving approximately 55 mph, the contact noticed a humming sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. Additionally, the contact noticed a vibration in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the driver and passenger rear tires would have to be replaced and an alignment would have to be performed. After the repair, the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The rear tires were replaced twice. The contact stated that the tires were wearing excessively from the inside. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

2009 Ford Focus excessive tire wear. Front tires are completely down to the steel belts on the insides only and the rear tires (driver side in particular) have severe cupping and this is only at 26000 miles of easy driving since we bought it new.

Vehicle was purchased used with 34,000 mi. Vehicle was brought to local dealer for recommended maintenance at 41,050 mi. And a complaint of wheel vibration. Dealer inspected and found severe cupping on inside of left rear tire and recommended 2 new tires and 4 point alignment. We had 2 rear tires replaced and 4 wheel alignment by local tire dealer. Front toe-in was corrected. The vibration continued at highway speeds. Two front tires were replaced about 2 weeks later. We now have 4 new tires and the same vibration. The vibration feels like a tire is out of balance.

My 2009 Ford Focus has had obvious suspension issues since 6000 miles. Rear tires always slip in wet conditions from a stopped position during a normal initial acceleration. Furthermore at speeds greater than (>) 60 mph the steering wheel vibrates and the car shakes. I am a fairly good driver and in countless "normal" driving conditions my car has gotten into an "out of control state" luckily I was able to recover. I had taken the car to a Ford dealership to be told the tires were causing the problem. I replaced tires, had an alignment performed and again in short order (less than 6000 miles driven) the issues came up again. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue. First of all the need to accelerate without your back tires and rear of vehicle sliding/shifting side to side is essential. Furthermore, a car should not vibrate and rattle violently at speeds of only 55 mph. I fear that if I continue driving this car in it's current state, I run the risk of getting into an accident.

I purchased this vehicle in December 2008. Since then there is only 28000 miles on it. Counting the original set of tires I am on my fourth set of tires. They wear uneven or entirely to quick. The rear tires seem to wear much more than the fronts probably at least 7 alignments over the last 3 to 4 years. There is a problem here and Ford needs to own up to it.

Pre mature tire wear, right rear tire wore out at 25,000 mi. Wore out in 3 areas diagonally across tire face. Excessive vibration at highway speeds. Tires have been balanced 3 different times. New tires rebalanced twice. 45,000 mi. On vehicle now.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Focus. The vehicle was being serviced for a routine oil change when the mechanic advised the contact that both tires on the driver' side were wearing due to an unknown suspension problem. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they advised her she would need four new tires, struts, and other unknown repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,638 and the current mileage was 17,000.

Near miss. I bought a new 2009 Ford Focus 7 months ago; it had 25 miles on it. I have put 18,000 miles on it so far, mostly in the last 2 months. The back starts thumping at highway speeds about 1000 miles ago so today I take it in to bill knight Ford, where I bought the car (74133) , and they tell me I need a rear end alignment and 2 new tires. Amazing enough, they don't have the tires in stock- I'm guessing cause everyone that traded in the clunkers 7 months ago (to buy a Focus), already beat me to the dealer ship. Is it just me or does the $17,000 car have problems?.
