2010 Ford Focus complaints

REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH OR OPEN. ONCE OPENED IT WILL NOT CLOSE AGAIN CAUSING THE DOOR TO COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

VEHICLE STALLED. TRIED TO RESTART IT, WOULD NOT FIRE UP. IT THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY (I-87N, EXIT 17/MOREAU) VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER INDICATION OF TROUBLE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER SHOWED ANY PROBLEM. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO OTHER FORD ENGINE FIRES (DUE TO OVERHEATING/LOSS OF COOLANT) OR WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED IT. INSURANCE DID NOT DO AN INSPECTION (I OWNED THE CAR OUTRIGHT AND ONLY HAD LIABILITY COVERAGE) AND FORD TOTALLY BLEW ME OFF. HAVE PICTURES, BUT THEY LOOK LIKE ANY OTHER CAR WITH AN ENGINE FIRE.

I JUST GOT THIS CAR, HAD FRONT END CHECKED AND I GOT TO REPLACE SWAY BARS, CONTROL ARMS, TIE RODS, BOTH INNER AND OUTER. CAR ONLY HAS 129K MI ON IT. NOT TO MUCH THE CAR CONSTANTLY SWAYS NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS. MY TPMS IS ALSO THROWING ERRORS.

2010 FORD FOCUS DOORS DO NOT OPEN AT ALL FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE OF THE CAR . THE REMOTE WILL NOT DISENGAGE AND WILL KEEP DOORS LOCKED. A PERSON CANNOT JUST PULL ON THE HANDLE INSIDE OR THE LOCK STEM TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE DOOR ACTUATOR ON ALL FOUR DOORS NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DUST GOING INSIDE THE MECHANICAL PARTS AND OIL'S CREATING MUD ISSUES. FORD MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY SEEN LOTS OF FORD FOCUSES WITH THE SAME ISSUE COSTING THE CUSTOMER A FINANCIAL BURDEN DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WHICH FORD UPDATED THE ORIGINAL DESIGN TO FIX THE ISSUE, ADMITTING TO THE BAD DESIGN SOLD TO THE PUBLIC. PEOPLE WERE TRAPPED IN THE CAR AND CANNOT GET OUT DUE TOO DOORS NOT DISENGAGING, THE HANDLES ARE STIFF/LOCKED

ON AT LEAST 4 VARIOUS RANDOM OCCASIONS OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS, WITH THE FOCUS IN MOTION ON A ROADWAY, THE FOCUS ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH THE INTENT TO MAKE A NORMAL STOP OF THE VEHICLE. TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS OCCURRED RECENTLY IN MARCH AND APRIL OF 2017. ON THOSE OCCASIONS, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY NORMAL BRAKING.

I HAVE CHANGED MANY PARTS ON MY 2010 FORD FOCUS SE 2.0 AND HAS NOT CHANGED ANYTHING. I STARTED OUT WITH NOT IDLING AND AFTER SPENDING A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS IT HAS NOT CHANGED ANYTHING. VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP IT SHUTS OFF. THE PERSON BEHIND YOU THINKS YOUR GOING TO PROCEED AND YOU DON'T DO TO CAR SHUT OFF IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION YOUR IN. I DID READ THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THESES MYSTERY PROBLEMS WITH THESES VEHICLES AND FORD CANT EVEN FIGURE IT OUT. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MANY THAN WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY FORD. DOES SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HURT BEFORE IT BECOMES A RECALL? I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THIS HAPPENS UNDER WARRANTY AND UP TO 100K. VERRY SORRY!

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 35-40 MPH, AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN ON A COUNTY ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER LOCKED, OR THE POWER STEERING FAILED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO NEGOTIATE THE TURN. SHE RAN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HIT A LIGHT POLE STRAIGHT ON, CAUSING HER MINOR INJURIES, BUT TOTALING THE CAR.

MY 2010 FORD FOCUS THAT I BOUGHT BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2015 IS HAVING A LATCHING PROBLEM WITH THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. IT WILL NOT LATCH SHUT WHEN PARKED. TRIED GREASING THE LATCH BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

WE BOUGHT A FACTORY CERTIFIED CAR TO ELIMINATE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS ALSO INTERMITTENT AND INVOLVES THE RIGHT HAND DOOR LOCK'S 95% OF THE TIME BOTH FRONT AND REAR. THE NOT ALWAYS AT THE SAME TIME.WHEN LOCKED THEY FAIL TO OPEN WITH EITHER THE REMOTE OF THE INSIDE SWITCH.WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 4-5 TIMES AND IT WAS ONLY THE LAST TIME HE WAS ABLE TO SEE 1/2 OF THE PROBLEM.HE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO GET IT IN THAT DAY AND I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LEAVE .HIS ANSWER IS IF IT'S NOT BROKEN I CANT FIX IT . I ALSO ASKED THE SALES MAN IF THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THAT PROBLEM OR IS THE FIRST HE HERD OF IT.THEY HAVE HEARD OF IT BEFORE AND HE RECOMMENDED WD-40 SQUIRTED DOWN TO CLEAN THE ACTUATOR.I DID TRY THAT BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN OVER AND OVER AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT OF TIMES.THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT FOR MY WIFE AND I HAVE A GREAT CONCERN GOD FORBID SOMETHING HAPPEN AND THE PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR.I ALSO HAVE A FORD TRUCK AND THERE WERE A FEW RECALLS WHICH YOU'LL DID THE RIGHT THING AND FIXED IT I LIKE MY FORD TRUCK.LOOKING IN THE INTERNET I SEE THIS PROBLEM QUITE A BIT ON THE FOCUS BUT WHY IS THIS YEAR OR VIN NOT INCLUDED IF I TO AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM?PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.I THINK IT WOULD HELP US BOTH FEEL SAFER DRIVING OUR NEW/USED CAR.THE PROBLEM IS INCONSISTENT AND HAPPENS SITTING STILL,DRIVING AT ANY AND OR ALL SPEEDS.

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AT TIMES. WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL CAR DOES NOT MOVE ACCORDINGLY. STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES ON HIGHWAY.

I BELIEVE THESE TWO ITEMS ARE RELATED: WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR MORE THE CAR DID NOT HAVE SMOOTH, CONSTANT ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE SURGES SLIGHTLY OFF AND ON WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CRUISE IS BEING USED OR NOT. WE TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY HOWEVER THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED PERIODICALLY. ALSO, WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE ON DIFFERENT DAYS WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. AT THE SAME TIME THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AFTER PULLING OVER AND CYCLING THE IGNITION. WE AGAIN TOOK IT TO A FORD WHO AGAIN CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE PRETTY SURE THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACEMENT BUT THEY CANNOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE "WRENCH" LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE A CODE. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE CAN REPLACE IT AT OUR OWN COST BUT THEY WON'T REPLACE IT AT THEIR COST WITHOUT A CODE (WHICH DOES NOT REGISTER).

VEHICLE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARED AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION.

CAR FAILS TO START WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND TURNED TO THE PROPER IGNITION STARTING POINT. MY MECHANICS SAYS THE CAR IS NOT FINDING THE SAFETY CHIP INSIDE THE KEY AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO START. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE IGNITION AND HAVE MY KEY RE-PROGRAMMED. THIS HAS BEEN DEGRADING OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS. STARTING WITH A FORCEFULNESS OF THE KEY TO MAKE IT START. THE LONGER IT HAS GONE THE WORSE IT HAS GOTTEN. UNTIL IT FINALLY WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THE REPAIR WILL COST ME $ 400.00 PLUS HAVING IT TOWED. IT IS A FAILURE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY'S SAFETY CHIP INSIDE THE KEY. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO SIT AND WAIT FOR THE CAR TO START, SOMETIMES REACHING 30 MINUTES. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS AND HIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR ANY SPEED THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND THEN THE GAS PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT. YOU HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP ALONG THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THEN ITS FINE. IF YOU DON'T TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT WILL STAY IN LIMP MODE DRIVING MAXIMUM 5 MPH. THIS CAR HAS 92K MILES. WRENCH LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON. TD
