Brakes started squeaking loudly and constantly every time you come to a stop. Have brought the car into the elmwood park, NJ dealership and they have checked it twice and said this is to be expected. Have read Ford's disclaimer about brake noise given to me after I purchased the car (and after I complained of the problem once it started after the car had been broken in), and it mentions "occasional" brake noise. This noise is constant! I told the Fordcompany and dealership that I feel there is something wrong with these brakes. They should not be making this kind of noise all the time and the noise is only getting worse! the dealership (elmwood park, NJ) has told me they will not check the brakes again under warranty and will charge me if I ask them to check them again (they checked them at 2000 miles and then again at 8000 miles). The Ford motor company has failed to answer my requests verbally and a second time put into writing to speak to a supervisor about this matter. I do not feel safe in this car!.

No results, feel brakes are defective - dealer will not let me talk with Ford rep. - would like to know if other Focus owners having same problem- I feel this is a safety hazard- request recall. Thank you .

Brake problems: there is alot of noise when applying the brakes. This has been an on going thing since me and my husband purchased the Focus. We have contacted the dealer ship on several occassions to report the problem and to this day nothing has been done to resolve the issue. All they have to say is that its suppose to do that. We now have to totally replace the whole brake system and haven't even had the car for more than a year and a half. Dealership is very unprofessional and unwilling to help at all.
