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.

The speed control stuck for a few and the doors always locks and will not open its a safe hazzrad and the car bounces all the time.

Doors lock and wont unlock at time trapping you in and the car goes thur tires like crazy but I'm really worried about the doors traping you in the vichle at times.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Ford Focus. The contact stated while driving back from a long vacation the contact notice metal fragments coming out of the tires. In addition the contact states when making a turn the vehicle passenger seat shakes uncontrollable. There was also leakage coming from the front passenger strut. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,045. The VIN number was not provided. Ng.

2010 Ford Focus can't be driven if the road is wet. The backend try's to throw you to the left. It had new tires when I got it. Had it one year put anew set on and now it needs another set. My boss bought it new and had to put 3 sets on. He never found what caused it to throw the back end. I'm getting ready to take to try to find out what is causing the problem. When I bought the tires I was told my tires were wearing out from the inside out. They are going to check it out before new tires are put on.

Hankook premature tire wear. Tires only last 17k. Ford and hankook will not honor warranty. Vehicle makes loud noise driving down the road and vehicle is more susceptible to hydroplanning. Tires are worn on the inner side. Ford customer service refuse to acknowledge a problem buy has several TSB covering the premature tire failure/wear.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph and completing a turn, the front axle separated from the vehicle without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where they advised that the axle would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were unavailable. The VIN was unavailable.

Was told by dealer that the hankook optimo h725 brand tires on my car have failed. I was advised not to drive the car for long trips, and to replace the tires ASAP. I have 24,000 miles on 3 of the tires and 16000 on another. I already had to replace one tire because of a sidewall bubble.

Both tires on back cupped and I was told by dealer that it was because I did not rotate them. I had to buy tires and also pay for alignment. Now at 56251 miles it did it again. Took it to dealer again and now they day it needs a rear adjustment kit that cost $240. 00 dollars and I have to pay for it. The service consultant said it was a factory defect but Ford says it isn't and they will not pay for it. Also I took it in because it makes a loud thump when I hit a bump. I told them it sounds like shocks are bad but they said nothing is wrong with car.

Steering wheel vibration is felt upon application of the brakes. The vibrations are stronger at higher speeds. An automotive specialist told me it is a characteristic of the Ford Focus due to underdesigned suspension components. This can create a potential safety hazzard at interstate speeds (65mph) due to the strong vibrations in the steering wheel.

Vehicle constantly "bottoms out" over minor pot holes in road or over speed bumps. . . If dip in freeway at freeway speeds the jolt will knock your teeth out. Been to dealer and independent mechanics and all say that suspension system is intact and nothing bent or broken. It is horrible however to have to experience. The shocks must be horrible and not well built for the car. Have had constant tire wear from poor alignment and again, it's the front suspension that does not hold.

Both rear tires started making noise. Took it to dealer and they said I had to replace 2 tires cause they cupped. Bought 4 new tires and had an allignment done. Did everything they told me I had to do and now again tires cupped. Took it to dealer and now they said it needs a rear adjustment kit that cost over $900 plus labor, new tires and allignment. Ford nor dealer want to cover all cost. Also makes a loud thump when going over bump like shocks are bad. Took it to dealer and they said shocks were good and nothing was wrong with it.

The car bottoms out easily when driving on paved roads. If you hit a slight variation in the road, you have to slow way down or the car hits bottom. Going over dirt roads or crossing railroad tracks requires a minimal, barely moving speed. The tire pressure is accurate. Ford dealer tells me there is nothing wrong.

Car bottoms out bad it does not matter if you are doing five mph over a speed bump or 35 mph and go into a corner most of the time the car will bottom out and if you are out on the freeway doing 65 mph and hit a dip or a sharp corner in the road hold on because it almost jars your teeth loose because it bottoms out so bad I have had to checked by Ford nothing can be done about it told it was just the nature of this car.
