I purchased my one year old Focus used with 28,000 on it. Pretty nice car. The trouble started when I went to install those rubber guards that go on the edges of your doors to protect against dings. I'm careful but my passengers? Not so much. I first noticed the issue when I saw that my driver's side rear door was seemingly rubbing the stripping on the door jam. Meanwhile, my passenger side rear door was rubbing against the stripping on the front door whenever I opened it. I removed the guard material and inspected the doors and confirmed that none of them lined up correctly.
Took it to the dealer where it was corrected under warranty. It was probably like that when I bought the car but still a disappointment. And no, the guard material on the driver's side rear door no longer rubs.
