Focus 2.3L

  • Automatic transmission

I think this should become a recall issue because of the the bad design of the air intake system.

problem #1

Focus

  • Automatic transmission

With the recent tropical storm Faye, the amount of rain here in Florida was enormous. As a consequence water with the help of strong wind, found a way inside the engine. The car was parked in my driveway and was NEVER at any time in standing water. Yet there is water inside the pistons????? When i tried to start it a day after the storm, it would not start and ultimately it seized. I would like to know if anyone has had a similar problem with the focus.
