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.
The CD player is definitely a piece. It will load the CD but it makes a strange whizzing, whining sound when its trying to play the CD. Other times it will sound normal and say "CD error." Often when you push the eject button, the cd will get stuck and you have to push the cd edge down a little by slightly inserting another cd.
For a while the digital display was not working properly either. Sometimes it would flash the digits. other times the screen would be completely blank.
I dont use the CD player anymore luckily the radio works so i can listen to that or my ipod with it's radio transmitter.
