general problems of the 2010 Ford Focus

Multiple mechanics working at and including but not limited firestone, discount tires, midas, walmart, independent mechanics have informed me the rear wheels can not be realigned with the front wheels due to how it was designed. This has caused my rear wheels to become more and more out of alignment with no way to repair the misalignment. So all steering components have been more and more hard to control and are being destroyed at a faster rate. Including but not limited car sound deadening stuff. Bolts, nuts, screws, undercarriage, tire wear, the front alignment etc. It has not been inspected by anyone but mechanics.

Ignition switch binding up and the switch will not start the car when turning the key in the switch!.

The power steering goes out and I can not control the vehicle.

My son was driving in the car pool lane when the car came to an abrupt stand still. It turns out the compressor failed and threw its parts all over the engine compartment damaging parts of the engine. When the engine failed, he lost braking and steering abilities. Compressors do not last forever. However, when a compressor quits working that should be the extent of the failure. This compressor failed and basically came apart. The car not working in the middle of a car pool lane put my son and his wife in danger as there was no where to get out and no way to move the car.

This car was just purchased. Parked car in driveway and the next morning my wife could not start the car. I called seller and he said to 'wiggle" steering wheel and car would start. Wife could not accomplish this feat. I tried and with much force got the wheel to move and then car started. Problem seems to be in steering wheel. This seems to be a real poor design. I am taking the car to : locksmith and then Ford dealer to see what the "fix" actually is. Have seen many complaints on this site and others.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Focus. While driving approximately 5 mph, the contact noticed a clunking sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician advised that all four tires would have to be replaced. After the replacement of the tires the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The technician then advised that the front and rear tires would have to be replaced a second time because an alignment was not performed in time. Additionally, whenever the vehicle was driven over an uneven road surface, there was a loud bang coming from the front end of the vehicle. The contact stated that the tire wear was not because of the alignment but because of a safety defect within the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 16,754.

Mom and I was driving a rental. 2010 Ford Focus. Earlier that day she was driving the car an complained it was wobbling when the steering wheel still. For me, at first when I was driving I thought it was the wind making the car wobble, but as I was driving down the highway and notice my back right tire rotation was very unusual (it just didn't feel right) so I slow down to feel the same reaction. When I did my car fishtailed into the median wall of the highway (smashing in the right side or driver side of the car) (when hitting the wall , the breaks and steering wheel locked up) and bounced me across to the left side of the highway hitting the metal rail that help me stop rolling, ended up with minor injuries, serious headaches, and a so called ticket of $130 failure to control my vehicle I don't know if Ford Focus function that way, but I will never advise anyone to ever get a Ford!.
