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.
My son was in high school and was driving home He was in a residential area and the rear wheel hub broke and the wheel and tire rolled down the street. He could have been injured especially if he had been on a busy street. I hate this car. I contacted Ford. They refused to do anything about this problem. I won't buy another Ford. They don't stand behind their product.
This is the 9th time since purchasing the car with 15 miles on it!!!! I've had enough! There are NO issues except this one! My car note money goes towards the changing of the bearings!
