CarComplaints.com Notes: Even though the first model year of a major redesign should typically be avoided, Ford did a good job & the 2008 Ford Focus doesn't appear to have any major defects.
That said, the following model years of this 2nd generation Focus (2009-2011) do appear to be slightly better.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
2008 Ford Taurus SEL Sedan - FWD - 3.5v6 - Titanium Green Metallic -----------------------------------------------------------------
I have noticed since the car was new (we bought it new)
That the overflow bottle seems a little low from time to time. Not quite up to the COLD FULL mark.
Had the dealer add some more coolant before and yet even in 2014 still will drop a tad low from time to time.
Out of warranty now. So i'll be stuck paying if it gets worse.
Update from Jul 31, 2016: * Correction I meant 2008 Ford Focus SE - VAPOR SILVER 2.0L Duratec
(the ford taurus was a different car we owned)
