The rear, left passenger door does not lock with the power locks. It will work again for a small time and then go back to being dysfunctional.

problem #1

Focus Hatchback

  • 8,000 miles

Where do I start. It started with the airbag light coming on and not shutting off. No big deal, just that they airbag won't come out in an accident. Took it to a dealer and they got a code saying the light was burned out for and obviously, to them and myself, it wasn't. The light shut off and didn't come back on for them. They had me take it home. Next my doors wouldn't unlock, they are power locks. I tried the key, the keyless remote and nothing. After 5 minutes, they unlocked. Next they wouldn't relock. A few weeks later, the alarm goes off by itself. Noone around. It wouldn't shut off no matter what I did. Then when I went to get in the car it would not unlock again, and then after 10 minutes it would. And again it would not lock again.
Was changing the oil on it 2 weeks ago and notice a leak by the tranny. So took the stupid car back to the dealer and they still have it. They did find out why it was leaking. It was the tranny seals. They still can't figure out the electrical problem though. I will never buy a Ford again. This is ridiculus that a BRAND NEW CAR is doing this. I have many used cars and never had problems untill a couple of years and many many miles of drvinging it but after only 7 months!!!!????!!!!! GET REAL!!!!
