The transmission tends to hesitate and jerk when accelerating. The new electronically-driven power steering can fail suddenly and without warning. Even Ford's SYNC can be a headache. Actually, scratch that last one — it's always been a headache.
I bought my Ford Focus because it was made in the USA. Well, I have had nothing but problems with this car and I will never buy a Ford car again. By the way it is a 2013 Ford Focus. Sue! Stay away from these cars.
This started last fall, looked all over for any sign of bad weather stripping. Cleaned out leaves under the hood it stopped for a while but we have had rain for two days as it sat and now have about an inch and a half of water on the passenger side only. both side of the car look the same around the windshield and door jams. Tree buds are falling with all the rain I'm going to try a water flood in the suspected area then compressed air.
Third time they are trying to fix this. Who knows if they'll actually succeed this time. I have a lemon. It's going to be hell trying to trade in or sell this car that is LESS THAN A YEAR OLD NOW!
