Focus SE V4

  • Automatic transmission

Again, bought this car March of last year, doors everything was just peachy for the first few months, Now I find that on ocassion my rear doors will not unlock. Yes they are power locks, yes we've checked the fuses yadda yadda, I've got children that ride around in that thing! Definitely not safe if something should happen and they can't get out...most assuredly annoying but not the first nor the last of my problems with this car...I do not believe I will ever buy another Ford

There is always something wrong with this vehicle! The automatic door locks stopped working the same time the key got stuck in the ignition. The manual says to replace a fuse located on the "back side of the fuse panel", ok, where is that??? no one seems to know. Can anyone tell me!? I miss not being able to lock my doors without having to walk around the car. Winter is coming and I am not looking forward to dealing with this problem again.

My power locks stopped working. I tried to replace the fuse, and when I used the remote, or the interior button, it would blow the fuse. I have not taken it to the dealer yet, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue.

problem #2

2006Nov 20

(reported on)

Focus V4

  • Manual transmission
  • 60,000 miles

This happened when the car was still under warranty. It took one month to fix and they had to fly someone out from Ford to do it. If I would have had to pay for it, it would have cost $1000. Now, 6 years and 60K miles later it's happened again! The passenger side front door and the trunk open with the key, but not the front door. Even the rocker lock won't work, so the driver's side front door won't open at all. Therefore, the car is not safe to drive.

Anyone know how to fix this?

It cost $109.63 just to have it looked at. They replaced 4 fuses before they realized that the passenger door had an internal short that blew the fuse. I was charged for all 4, is that right?

They disabled the lock on the passenger door so the fuse wouldn't blow. remote finally worked, but power button still doesn't work on driver side door, only rocker button. can not afford cost to fix passenger door at this time. Cost at least another 126.00.
