I was on my way to work and the knob to change your air setting to defrost broke, which eventually cause my windshield to ice up and for me to go in the ditch.I took the car into Ford 3 times to get it fixed until they told me the main box that changes which direction the air comes out was broken ($2,000 fix) and the mechanic said its common on Focus's. I asked why it wasn't recall and they said its not a safety issue, I responded "so your windshield freezing over and going in the ditch because of it isn't a safety issue?" then he agreed, but I guess Ford doesn't still.
