Description of the problem | I bought a 2013 ford focus hatchback on march 22, 2013, less than two weeks. All sudden my car died wouldn't start. I called ford roadside assistance, the guy came and jump start my car 5-6 times in order to get car started, but the hood/ and dashboard had burning smells and it went dark completely, no lights display on dash, the signal light didn't even work too. I checked online, many people complaint ford focus has electrical wiring problem since year 2000, and it is continued using on year 2013 model, the wire cracking in insulation. Ford should recall cars to fix their design problems, but i believe government needs to step in before the big 3 motor manufacturers would take consumers seriously. |
