I purchased this 2003 Ford Focus as a gas mileage car. In less then a year the thermostat housing has cracked twice. The first time cost me a few hundred dollars. Luckily my mechanic is aware of the chronic problem with the Ford Focus thermostat housings. He ordered a part that came with a warranty so the second time did not cost me. He says he will go to a different maker of the part the next time. He also said auto companies do this kind of thing purposely to make money.
