CarComplaints.com Notes: Even though the first model year of a major redesign should typically be avoided, Ford did a good job & the 2008 Ford Focus doesn't appear to have any major defects.
That said, the following model years of this 2nd generation Focus (2009-2011) do appear to be slightly better.
This brand new vehicle Focus was sent back to Eagle Ford 4 x not fixed If the light shows that you do not have your safety belt on it does not activate your airbags
And the bantam that we bought is worse The bantam is so bad Eagle Ford is going to replace it with another vehicle and the scrap one is going back on the floor to be sold as a new bakkie what a disgrace
Bakkie:Mud flap scew,bodywork hammered-screw,left hand door drop when open,front fender do not line up,brakes pull left bad,back drums not braking,alternator noise,4goodyear tyres spare wheel a Firestone,spotlights not reflecting on dash only when aircon switched on does inside lights reflect, left hand door scratches when closing door.
