My boyfriend and I have recently discovered a new problem with the Focus. During the summer I am constantly having to run the AC, and even up till recently because of the unusual weather, but if we run the AC for any length of time, the car begins to overheat. I have had to check on the radiator fluid several times. There appears to be no leak anywhere, but it is going through the fluid like nothing. It can be a real pain in the ass when you have long distances to drive or even sitting in a drive through for food. This car is a real piece of crap. I do not recommend Fords to anyone.

It took the a/c to break before the mechanic could see why my car was constantly overheating. Since he couldn't buy the part that broke (used to cost $5), I had to purchase the entire fan. This plus the a/c cost over $1700!!
