Class Action Lawsuit; FORD FOCUS HAS A DESIGN FLAW
I wouldn't have bought this if i knew since 2012 there was a known issue. Internal emails were discovered in the investigation that the engineer team knew there was a problem, but Ford went ahead with the release and thus began the lies. How can someone in good conscience do this??? I don't know, but here's my story about my latest happening.. So, Ford's Focus line has a problem they cannot fix. There was a class action lawsuit and Ford had to pay damages. Part of this was the clutch was warranty extended to 100,000 miles. Well, mine went out at 9x,000. lucky me, right. Well they replaced the clutch and it was OK for a little bit, then I got stranded when the car broke down and wouldn't move. I paid to tow to the dealer, which had done the clutch replacement, knowing that my clutch had once again gone out. My mileage is now still in the 90k's. Diagnosis determined a bearing seized up and took out the clutch and shift forks with it. JC Ford Lincoln is refusing to warranty this, and wants just under $2000 to repair. I only put maybe 1000 miles on the new clutch before it went out. I've had many many bad experiences with this shop, but this is the first I was driven to write a bad review, because this has all gone too far. Stay away if you know whats best! They need to own up to their bad work. What, it's just a big coincidence right? Yeah, I bet.. sounds like fraud to me..

MY EXPERIENCE WAS A HORRIBLE ONGOING NIGHTMARE JUST DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. Getting a legal applicable registration, convert my tags from old car to purchased car after temporary ones expired and they sent me none usable ones to my email. Getting a legal applicable title was a nigthmare. 1. dead refurbished battery. replace cost: $230.00 2. missing/broken dipstick. cost??? 3. dark gunky oil. needed oil change badly. cost: $26.00 4. dry rotted wiper blades replaced. cost: $30.00 5. filthy air filter. cost??? 6. four rat eaten ignition coil packs, ignition coil connector, ignition coil rewiring done. four spark plugs replaced. Mechanic/owner of auto shop wrote notes stating very rusty rat eaten wires, coils, and rusty engine. Mandatory repairs cost: $685.39 7. dry rotted tires had to be replaced after one exploded. cost: $427.96 8. front brake pads, rear clean adjust, brake flush. cost: $270.00 9. Spare tire was missing and never replaced as promised. 10. front passenger side panel was missing and never replaced as promised. 11. Sales person Alex told me I would have a three month warranty when I purchased car at full price never happened. I was given a as is no warranty. 12. A SERIOUS FUEL TANK DEFORMATION RECALL WAS NOT FIXED THAT COULD CAUSE CAR TO STALL AND NOT RESTART. (I went to a car dealership myself and had it fixed 3 days after purchase). THIS SERIOUS DEFECT WOULDN'T HAVE COST FERCO MOTORS NOTHING TO FIX!!!

Worst car ever
While the look and comfort of the car is great, the mechanics leave little to be desired. I bought the car in March of 2019. Since then I have had to have the transmission replaced twice. It has been in the shop far more than it should need to be. But I fix one thing and another goes. I wouldn't recommend this car to my enemies.

Solid basic transportation automobile
We bought this car for our daughter, but I've been mostly driving it myself. It is comfortable and I'm getting great gas mileage. Not as peppy as other cars this size, but it is not supposed to be a sports car. Good interior space and trunk size for a car this size.

Most reliable car I’ve owned
Out of all the cars I’ve owned, this is the only car I feel safe in and am not putting thousands into repair it. Drives great and has all the fancy features!

Super fun, super practical!
Easily the most practical, powerful, smooth shifting, and fuel-efficient car that I've ever owned. It's come in clutch with moving and picking up furniture, etc. You can fit a surprising amount of things in the back folding down the seats. The classy grey still looks great and shows only minor wear and a couple of chips and one very minor dent in the front. It's got all the neat modern features like integrated Bluetooth and keyless entry and ignition.
