CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002 Ford Focus 2.0L SOHC engine has a defect where the intake valve seat fails. The valve then falls into the cylinder, destroying the engine & most owner relationships with Ford in the process.
If I leave the keys in the parked car for even a few minutes, the car locks itself. This has happened many, many times and at least 3 times with it running. Once in front of the emergency room entrance at the hospital while I was getting a wheel chair for my husband and my sister closed the door..The car was running. I do not have dates and you do not have enough room for me to report all the times this happened.
