2002 Ford Focus ZX5- one of the center caps on the 16" wheels fell off while driving the vehicle. The caps are defective since the tabs that hold it onto the wheel seem to just break off (cheap). The cap covers the lug nuts.
I purchased my 2002 Ford Focus in January of 2005. I love my car, have found out about of things that could go wrong later. Right now I am having trouble with my front wheels. I have put six used tires on the front since I purchased the Focus. In November I had two brand new tires put on plus in may I have had a wheel alignment done. The car still shakes very bad. Found out I need my wheel hub bearing replace, plus I found out there may be a recall on the rear bearing which I have not received anything. I should not have to pay for these things to be done.
The cap which presses on over the lug nut on the wheel was just pressed on, and came off easily. Consumer stated there 3 caps were lost while driving the vehicle.
