2001 Ford Focus Owner Comments

problem #3

Focus SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 126,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I bought this car from my boyfriends neighbor who said the car was in good shape and only told me about the superficial problems about the car. LIED TO MY FACE! I spent over 1k on fixing the car and the AC Compressor was broken from the inside out so when they self-did the freon refill they broke the compressor and I was told the high-low switch could also be broken. This is not my only complaint about the car but having NO AC for almost 7 months living in Arizona going through a full summer was not fun at all. I'm still doing repairs on the car to this day. I have a 2001 ford focus sedan SE 4 door.

Okay, so I thought my AC was low on Freon for some reason so I had a licensed friend add two cans. Then the NEXT summer I had to do it again. I thought it was strange but again had my friend add more cans of air. Third summer, I had the same issue. Now, I took it to my wonderful mechanic and had them check it out. It turns out that the evaporator core and another part of the A/C system that I can't remember the name of it and can't find my estimate. The estimate was over $1000 to fix my A/C problems!
