Power Window Problems of Ford Focus - part 2

Power windows on 2000 Ford Focus fail often. I have heard of this problem on many other foci via the internet; but I have personally had 3 power windows fail (which is a safety concern, as windows fall down violent when they fail and remain down, cannot be rolled up and will not stay up if moved by hand leaving vehicle exposed to theft and the elements) in less than 3 years. . . Two of which have failed out of warranty. (warranty is up in one month time frame; but have driven vehicle 45,000 miles. ) consumers are seriously getting bitten by the cost of replacing Ford's faulty designed power window assemblies. Date of most recent incident given.

I have had problems with my wife's Ford focous windows the windows fall off track or just fall down and will not roll up for no reason. Out of 4 windows right now the drivers side is down into the door will not roll up and the passenger rear is also the same. The drivers rear window we are afraid to touch it because we have had to catch it from falling and now we have been using tape. That is 3 windows out of 4 giving us problems. We do not want to try the passenger side door window. We are having a though time and it seems abnormal for the windows to give us problems.

Driver's side power window would stick in the up or down position, causing a distraction to the consumer. Dealer had been notified.

3 of 4 window regulators are broken in my 2000 Ford Focus - 2 rear windows and drivers window no longer go up and down. The windows fall into the door. First failure occured 8/02, second 6/03, third 8/03. Windows are currently taped up, which is a safety hazard as the tape obscures my vision.

First, my rear passenger window would not scroll up and down. This is after having my 2001 Ford Focus for 2 years. I rarely use my rear windows. I thought it was a motor problem. When I opened the door and checked by myself, I was shocked to see that it was not the motor but the regulator which is made of plastic. I think Ford did this intentionally. After a few months, the drivers side rear window also would not scroll up and down. I immediately knew what the problem is, the plastic regulator. So what I do is to pull the window up and hold it to the frame using a piece of paper. To fix this problem would cost me $300 a piece. That is $600 total to put in another plastic that will eventually fail. To make matters worse, today my front passengers side window also went down. Same problem. White plastic regulator. That puts my total cost of fixing this to $1200. I have decided not to buy a Ford again if this problem cannot be fixed. They need to recall the Ford Focus exhibiting this problems and fix it. It is simple, stop using the plastic as the regulator. The funny thing is that you can't purchase the regulator on its own. You have to buy it plus the motor which I do not need. Every Ford Focus owner is having this problem. My car is paid off and I don't think I will be looking at a Ford again if this is not resolved.

Consumer states that window broke without warning. Dealer notified.

I have a 2002 for Focus. I have been through a total of 6 window regulators. I know that this is probably not the biggest item to be repaired on the car I just want something done about it. This could really be a safety hazard for some people. Say you were driving down the road and because Ford motor company uses plastic regulators you window falls. . . . . . . And shatters!!!! that would be really bad you could get glass in your eyes and all over the place which could cause an accident. I would just like some way to get Ford motor company to put a recall on all window regulators on models of the Ford Focus.

In January of this year, my power locks stoped working so I brought my car to the Ford shop where they replaced the latch assembly, handle, cable, and fuse in the back driver side door. $350 all together. The locks worked fine for about 2 months when they suddenly went out again. At that time I couldn't open the back door at all. Not even manually. I lived with it for a while but then the front passenger side door did the same thing so with only two doors opening, I brought it back to the Ford shop. They fixed the back door again for free since the previous work was still under warranty. The front door however needed the same as the back and the trunk button also needed to be replaced. The quote was for $475. I couldn't afford that at the time and decided to wait a little longer. In the meantime, the window on the same back door suddenly fell into the door and had to be held up with some folded paper until I could bring it in. The quote for the front door as well as the window was over $700. 00! they said the regulator broke so the window wouldn't stay up. Apparently that is in some other part of the door because they said it was nothing they did even though they had taken that door apart 2 previous times. Needless to say, I got the front door fixed and the window is still being held up with paper! I have had nothing but problems with my Focus and am anxious to trade it in. I am worried however, that something else will happen before I get the chance! the dealership even offered to let me trade in the car without fixing it- not for the payoff amount- if I got another Ford. At this point I am hessitant about purchasing another car from Ford. If anyone else is having similar problems with their Ford Focus, I encourage them to write a complaint.

Rear automatic window will not operate.
