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.
Well the window handle broke off on the driver side door. I just moved to Virginia where you have to get a safety inspection and am worried it won't pass. The metal bar from the handle to the regulator just snapped. I'm not sure if I need to get a new regulator or the bar that goes from the handle to the regulator? Also, does the regulator come with the bar that broke, I can still use the handle if so...its fine its just that rod, you'd think ford would have used steel for that part!
