problem #2

2008Jul 16

Focus ZXW 2.2L (I Think)

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,962 miles

After getting the dealer's mechanic estimate of $450 for the replacement of the "shift" (what is that?) I happened to notice that a piece of the plastic sleeve, at the bottom of the shift stick, broke off and the sleeve dropped about an inch.
I moved that little sleeve back up and shifted into "Park", and what do you know, the key comes out like it never got stuck!!!
So, before you pay the big bucks, have a quick look at that plastic sleeve and pull it back up. Make sure it stays there when you shift into "Park".

problem #1

2008Jan 07

Focus

  • Manual transmission
  • 57,000 miles

This should be a recall issue!!!!!!!!!!!! It was not covered under warranty!! After getting the car fixed I called around to a number of different shops who said that they could profom the work for less than what the dealership charged to fix it.. I will NEVER again buy another ford, unless I am giving a full refund!!!!!!! Ford makes horrible products but that's not the worst part as they costumer service is of an even lower standard of their product. They will even go as far as to rip you off for their mistakes! When I buy my next car I will take the time to drive to every dealership speak with every owner and manager in my area and tell them why they lost my biz!!
