Description of the problem | I want to know why the people driving this year of ford focus have not been compensated by ford for all of the "defects" associated with this vehicle? In 3 years time, i have replaced the battery, shocks, repaired oil leak, vapor management valve and replaced tires out of my own pocket. The recalls are unreal! I have had it in the shop for "fuel tank deformation recall", the "tcm clutch shutter" has been replaced 3 times. Not to mention the times i have taken it in for that to be fixed, only to be told it wasn't the problem when it was later verified that it was. And now i receive notice that the doors fly open while driving! I can't trade it in, because i am $3,000 upside down because the vehicle is not worth squat. I have lost employment because of this vehicle and it has significantly impacted my and my family's quality of life because of all of the problems it has caused. I have been losing gas for the past 2 years and the mechanic's can't find the problem. When i fill up, the miles to empty will show for example 274, when i drive 1 mile by the odometer, the miles to empty has indicated 6. That is a huge amount of money i have lost in the past 2 years. This is outrageous that ford motor company has not been forced to compensate us unfortunate people that got "stuck" with a vehicle they knew had issues! I have all paperwork for everything i have stated above but there are over 100 pieces of paper. If you require this from me i can make copies and send to you but to upload everything is too much. Please help! I would like to get into a vehicle that is safe to drive for me as well as my family. I have been driving in fear since a week after i purchased this in jan 2017! |
