We have a 2012 Focus. From day 1, we have had problems with the battery going dead, within just a day. We have had it in numerous dealerships, with no resolve of the problem. After having had enough, we took it to a specialist who hooked it up to a diagnostic machine. The problem was the stereo system draining the battery. But we felt it wasn't our responsibility to have to pay for a new stereo, so we just had it disconnected. Fixed the problem. But the check engine light never goes off. And now it's making a funny noise in the engine and when you come to a stop and accelerate, it sometimes acts like it wants to cut off. I feel like Ford ought to replace the stereo free. We have had it in on other numerous occasions for other problems too. Had to have a new dash twice!.
