The car's exterior design causes the rear window and entire hatchback to continually become covered in road dirt and obscure visibility out the rear window. The rest of the car is immaculately clean but the wind dynamics of the car design cause road debris to accumulate on the rear portion or the car. This happens when in motion in all types of driving.

On December 12th, 2019, I was involved in a three-car fender bender on fairfax county parkway in Virginia. I was traveling in slow-moving traffic at 7:20am, close to reston hospital, when the two cars in front of me slammed on their brakes unexpectedly and I unfortunately could not brake in time to avoid hitting the car in front of me. The car directly in front of me was a Toyota SUV and had a tow-bar, which took most of the impact of the crash and caused damage to my vehicle. Aside from some minor scratches, both of the other cars involved in the accident were fine and the two drivers were able to continue on their ways to work. My car, on the other hand has been declared a total loss by my insurance company as it immediately burst into flames upon impact. As I mentioned above, the traffic was slow-moving so we were not traveling at more than 25-30mph at any time on that stretch as we navigated the traffic. This should have been a very low-impact and minor incident; however, for some unknown and unexplainable reason, the Ford Focus was on fire before I even knew that I had crashed. The impact was so minimal that no airbags deployed. Firefighters were onsite within 5 minutes and had difficulty putting out the blaze. In addition, I was still in the car while it was on fire because it happened immediately upon impact, so while I was lucky to walk away without any physical injuries, I was immediately taken to the ambulance to monitor my vitals and try to control my shock. I realize that there have been recalls of Ford Focus vehicles purchased in 2017 and prior; however, I strongly believe that the safety concerns raised in previous lawsuits against Ford pertain directly to the 2018 model as well. We had already replaced the clutch in the Focus after a year and a half because of a transmission failure also noted in previous years.

While driving at highway speeds in even mild wind or turbulent air from traffic the car has a loss of stability. The car was purchased in winter and as soon as conditions improved for highway speed to resume we found out.we do not feel the car should not be used for highway driving. When getting off the highway intermittently a vibration occurs as well as when traveling at 50mph occasionally feeling a drive line vibration feels like it comes from the right front wheel. So far the car has been to 2 dealers and they both acknowledge the issues and then say that this is proper that when driving a new Focus from their lots they are the same.
