This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Supplemental information reference NHTSA ODI # 10134021 the aforementioned ODI # is the third in a line of situations where, in my opinion, metal fatigue has caused a defect. Excessive regrind material is being utilized in the manufacture of parts, leading to premature wear/failure aka planned obsolessence. The rh axle support bearings would possibly have never failed had good workmanship practices and standards been in place and utilized. Being a "proud Ford owner" only since 1969 I have never experienced such a rapid / rampid parts failure rate. As a show of good faith, I expect nothing less than Ford Motor Company to absorb any and all cost of replacing the rear axle in my 2000 Ford Focus. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Respectfully, paul a. stadden
