Quality is Evidently NOT Job One
I actually purchased two Ford Focuses (or is that Foci ;) - one in 2012 and another (Ford Focus Titanium) in 2014. At first, I was impressed with the advanced technology, modern styling and excellent fuel economy. However, over time, mechanic issues developed with both cars. For both cars, the transmission was faulty and we had to bring them in to the dealer a couple of times for a "fix". With our newer car, the radiator spontaneously failed after only 3 years while driving down the highway to visit my granddaughter's 1st birthday. This left us stranded and we had to stay in a hotel overnight. Plus it cost us $800 to repair and we nearly missed the party. There were other more minor issues as well such as the window trim frequently falling down or leaks around the sun roof. I was really hoping that Ford had gotten its act together and that I could proudly buy American once again but this experience has left me skeptical. I will not be buying a Ford again anytime soon.

3000 lb paperweight
Love the style and look of this car. However, the transmission is junk and ford knows it and won’t support their customers. I’ve been a ford owner for 20 years, bought my daughter a 2014 Ford Focus. It was the perfect little vehicle… until it wasn’t. Both of the automatic clutches went out in 2019. Ford repaired it through the recall because it was defective. Now 3 years later both clutches went out again… and Ford said it’s no longer their issue. I have never in my life replaced a clutch on an automatic vehicle, let alone twice in 3 years. Ford knows this is an issue because there was a $30m class action lawsuit based on this issue. I now have a 3000 lb paperweight, and my daughter is left without a car. I’ve been a lifelong loyal ford customer, but this experience has left me thoroughly disgusted.

My last Ford
Factory rear rotors need replacing at 20kmiles, front brakes need replacing at 30kmiles, valve cover leak at 30kmiles, O2 sensor at 35kmiles, another O2 sensor and throttle position sensor at 40kmiles, main wiring harness at 41kmiles. Any time it rains or snows it's a crap shoot what's going to fail next. Factory tires were junk at 25kmiles. Stearing requires constant input to keep the car straight. Gas mileage not great, averaging around 32mpg, all high way. My car is a manual so I don't have the trans issues every one else has. My previous 2 fords were nothing but problems, thought this one would be different. I was sadly mistaken. Now throwing codes for transmission fault and hood is starting to rust. At 70kmiles.
