FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Nov 03, 2003.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . engine stalled after i had driven two miles with no warning. i had just down-shifted into 2nd gear as i was slowing to make a turn and the car stalled across two traffic lanes and would not restart. the oil light, battery light, and one other light came on (alternator i think). the car was manually pushed out of traffic lanes in neutral gear by two motorists who stopped to help. they were also unable to restart the vehicle. after approximately 10 minutes the engine started. i had the car towed and after 5 days the dealership still cannot find anything wrong. apparently the onboard computer did not capture the problem. i am extremely concerned because the car stalled without warning at approximately 25 miles an hour. had i been on the interstate as scheduled (i was running late and had to drop my daughter off before going home to pick up my laptop) i would almost certainly have been involved in an accident because i had no time to maneuver out of traffic after the engine stalled. it was 75 degree day (monday 11/3/03) so outside temperature could not have been a factor. *la.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21470 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 14, 2004.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS . on 2 occasions i complained to dealership re the amount of brake powder on the front wheels - these were on the first two oil change visits. both times i was told that this was normal (hub caps were dark charcoal). took car in to dealership on 2/14/04 for routine oil change and was told that the brake pads needed to be replaced but that the rotors had not been affected. car had only 14,300 miles, extremely low mileage for pads to be worn out. rep told me to bring car back for them to check for defect in brakes. i took the car back 5 days later and was told that not only were the pads bad, but that a mistake was made in rotor reading saturday and that rotors had to be replaced as well. there were serious communication problems which were later resolved, but i wound up paying meineke for pads ($133.00 incl labor) for a lifetime guarantee instead of fairway ford's price - $145 for 12,000 mile pads (same brand installed by the factory) or $195 for ford product. that night (2/19) i called ford headquarters to inquire about whether they had had previous, similar complaints. was told that they had no record of such complaints and that they could not help me; that they have to rely on the judgment of the service manager of that particular dealership and i should contact him. i wound up involving my attorney and writing to the service manager who investigated and found in my favor. they replaced the rotors for free. my concern is that ford is obviously using an inferior product; that i have found numerous complaints posted on the web about the focus brake pads; that there is a class action suit still in the discovery stage concerning the 2000 and 2001 focus brakes; and that i believe ford motor company should be held accountable. i appreciate that the service manager wound up apologizing and replacing the rotors for free, but this should never have happened in the first place.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP38372W.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2003.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STRUCTURE . i bought this car brand new in september. the first problem the car had was that the pollen filter became blocked and it had been raining out so all the water from outside came right into my car and i got about an inch of water in the passenger side of my car all over the floor. the enxt thing that happened was my driver side front tire blew while driving down a road, there were no potholes and no curbs that i could have hit for this to happen. about a month after this i noticed that the plastic had started bubbling up and peeling on the lower b pillar on the passenger side of the car, also the carpet had come unglued (from when my car flooded) and had now pulled away from the sill. also, the wetherstripping had come unglued from the windshiel and you can now see the sharp edge of the windsheild. my car is in service today getting that fixed. there is also, still a rattling noise coming from where the speedometer is. this has been going on since i bought the car and has not stopped. however, every time i take it to the dealership, it does not make this noise, so they cannot fix it. .Mileage was 10000 miles.

Ford Focus 2002 Power Train Clutch Assembly Review #10072578

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 06, 2004.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY . on thursday 5/6/04 the 2002 ford focus was being driven when the clutch assembly broke off under the dash board, disabling the vehicle. the vehicle had to be coasted off the roadway, and towed to the dealership. the broken pin was found on the floor under the clutch pedal. it could easily be determined that the pin broke off some type of bracket. you could see the welding and what appeared to be part of the bracket. the piece was given to the dealer. the dealer was also informed not to discard any parts. the next day we were notified that this would not be covered under the warranty (unfortunately the vehicle was just over the allowed warranty mileage) however, i inquired as to how this could happen to a vehicle that is only two years old unless it was due to some manufacturers defect. they said they could not help me since there were no other reports or complaints about this. i informed them them that i would be following up with ford motor co. i was later informed that this repair would cost me more than $600. i contacted ford and i was told that there was nothing they could do. forunately there was no injury, however, i dread to think what could have happened if the car was being friven on an interstate at 65 mph or more when this occurred. the ironic thing about this whole ordeal is that the only part i was told they needed was the pin that broke, but the only way to get the pin was to get the whole clutch pedal assembly, and guess who paid for that? i am hoping to get some satifactory feedback re: this problem. thank you.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 36140 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Oct 17, 2004.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . approximately every fifth time i drive my 2002 ford focus, the key gets stuck in the ignition and cannot be removed. subsequently, i'm able to get the key out of the ignition (after restarting the car and driving mindlessly for a few miles). the dealer is aware of this problem, and they have replaced the lock cylinder twice to no avail. within days of getting "fixed", the problem sprouts up again, leaving me without keys, without the ability to lock the car (that would lock my keys in the car), and forcing me to plan ahead and take a spare key with me wherever i go (so i can lock the keys in the car, still in the ignition -- a prime candidate for vehicle theft). this problem has been reported on numerous web sites, and there are clearly problems with the ignition system employed by ford. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 75000 miles.

Ford Focus 2002 Fuel System, Gasoline Delivery Fuel Pump Review #10134762

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 29, 2005.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP . r.e. ford focus 2002 fuel pump failure [xxx] i was sitting in the car with the engine idling waiting to pick my wife up from work at around 5pm cst. as she approached i turned off the engine and exited the vehicle so she could drive. up to this point we have loved our focus because it has always been reliable. when she started up the engine, it started to shake. the shaking became progressively worse and then the engine started to sputter. she turned off the engine and waited a minute and then restarted. the shaking continued at a lesser intensity so she attempted to drive the vehicle. about 25 feet later, in the middle of busy office building access road, the engine stalled. she tried to restart the engine to no avail. it sounded like the engine was not getting any fuel. we had a 1/4 of a tank. we check the fuel pump fuse and tried the fuel pump reset switch. thinking that the fuel tank indicator might be defective and that the car might be out of fuel, my wife had a co-worker driver her to a local gas station to get gas. adding gas did not resolve the problem and the fuel tank indicator showed the added fuel. when none of the quick fixes worked, we had the vehicle towed to apple valley ford in apple valley minnesota for servicing. they identified the fuel pump as the cause and because it is not covered by the 2000/2001 focus "extended warranty" for the same problem, we will have to pay around $600 to repair the car. i am furious about the cost but more so about the dangerous and untenable situation this defect puts my life and the life of my loved ones. how could the 2002 not be included? after research into this issue, i am angry that our lives are not consider important enough to ford or to the nhtsa. i shudder to think what could have happened if the engine had stalled on the freeway. there are plenty of recent complaints online by other 2002 focus customers who have had to replace their fuel pumps multiple times. *nm updated 07/19/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FAFP31382R.

Ford Focus 2002 Power Train Clutch Assembly Review #10145612

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2005.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY . the events leading up to the failure were daily use. the clutch master cylinder is located inside the vehicle. it is a very common failure for it to begin leaking, dripping on the carpet and eventually causing the rubber pad on the clutch pedal to fall off. this in itself is dangerous, but the hydraulic clutch utilizes the same fluid reservoir as the brake system, so the brakes could be affected by a leaking clutch. on my vehicle, i replaced the clutch master cylinder myself. when i was under the car, i noticed a drip from the drain hole in the bell housing- the slave cylinder is leaking, too. these are not "consumable" parts of a car. the simultaneous failure of both indicates that either they are woefully under-engineered, or the seals they used are not compatible with brake fluid. because of the corrosive nature of brake fluid, having it drip into the carpet and padding of the interior of my car is a bit of a concern. all in all, this is a major shortcoming that compromises the safety of the vehicle. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 36000 miles.

Ford Focus 2002 Electrical System Ignition Review #10158009

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 17, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . i was leaving work late one night and could not get my 2002 ford focus zx3 to start. the ignition was locked and so was the steering wheel. no amount of turning the wheel or jingling the key worked. the car recognized that there was a key in the ignition as it began to 'ding' but no matter what i did the key would not turn in the ignition. luckily there was a company car available that i could take home. i commute over 50 miles one way to work. walking, bus and taxi are not available options for me. i am a young woman working in downtown phoenix and i no longer feel secure in my vehicle. i have researched this extensively on the internet. it could be a worn key tip, the keys are microchipped for anti-theft security so a new one can only be made at the dealership and must be the same number as your key. it could be faulty tumblers, ford created their own ignition to save money and the tumblers may not fall correctly, or fall to far in to allow the key to fit! there is no current recall, a p05 is in progress, and there are no technical service bulletins listed. if my car is no longer under warranty, despite my purchase of the extended warranty it will cost anywhere from $35.00 for a new microchipped key, to $500 for drilling a new ignition and new keys, a tow, and labor. automotivetalk.net has been the most helpful website so far, but i wanted to add my voice to the list in order to get a recall rolling and have ford pay for this cheap ignition that fails repeatedly. i will refuse to pay for the replacement cost on this obviously poorly engineered part. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 76000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 27, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . a year ago, the driver's side turn signal light on my 2002 ford focus wagon burned out. in trying to replace it at a local auto parts place. the socket was so tight in the lens/reflector assembly that it could not be removed. i took it to my dealer, kain family ford in london. i learned that the problem was that the fitting for the socket had warped from excessive heat, apparently. the dealer searched to see if there was a technical bulletin and found one instance in which a pizza driver in a similar vehicle had a similar problem. they were able to pull the light out and with a pocket knife make the new socket fit in the assembly, and charged me the hourly rate for the work. i suspect this is a manufacturer's defect, because i've heard of two other instances in the same type of vehicle in this area with the same results. i recently replaced the passenger side headlamp and fount the same warping. i have yet to take it to my dealer, but will. is there a way to search repair records for this vehicle to determine if this is a defect and should be recalled? i learned of this site from click and clack on npr's cartalk. *nm.Ford Focus 2002 problem was reported in LONDON, KY.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 05, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP . my ford focus 2002 is starting to stall & hesitate while driving. i originally had believed it was bad fuel but it is recurring & once it stalls it is difficult to nearly impossible to keep running when putting it into drive. i have had it towed once & looked at by my mechanic, who is puzzled at this point (fuel additive, oil change, filters changed, spark plugs cleaned). it seems to be worse when the gas gage is @ or below a 1/4 of a tank. i have read that there was a similar problem with the 2000-2001 models & am inquiring if anyone with a 2002 is reporting such incidents. i bought the car used (from a ford dealer) with 12,000 (i think) miles on the speedometer & have been fairly happy until just the last 60 days. i can tell you that i had no problems until i ran very low on gas one night & stopped & filled up at a station that i normally do not use, but it is a station that does a great deal of business in the area where i work. i thought that i may have gotten some bad fuel or had run the tank so low that "gunk" from the bottom of the tank had gotten into the fuel. i used some "fuel additive" & i know that my mechanic (after towing it) also used a fuel additive...everything was fine for a couple of days but then it was hesitating/jerking while i was driving to work on a 1/4 of a tank of premium fuel (my mechanic suggested i only put in $10.00 of gas in case it was the fuel pump). my mechanic does not believe it is the fuel pump because once he got it to run & he had it running hot he had no problems...he feels i may need to just wait it out...stalling while in traffic is a bit too adventurous for me!!! *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP36322W.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on June 18, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . driving my 2002 zx5 ford focus around pittsburgh, with less than a 1/4 tank the engine started stuttering. then the car stalled. i turned it back on and drove about a 1/4 mile when it started stuttering and shaking pretty bad again. when i tried to accelerate, there was no power and the engine stalled again. i waited a little before turning it back on. it did the same thing twice more; once it stalled when i was doing a left turn at a busy traffic intersection and the other while driving down a crowded avenue. fortunately i was able to make the 2-hour trip back home without any incidents. i took it to the ford dealership in my town and they told me they needed to replace the fuel pump, fuel filter and also perform a fuel flush. the total cost is roughly $600.00. i have been looking in the internet and there is a history of failures with the fuel delivery module on 2000-2001 focus. ford has claimed that the problem was solved in 2002. my bumper-to-bumper warranty expired this past january and the dealership says that since my car is 2002 the extended coverage program 03n01 does not apply in my case, thus i have to pay for the repairs. i disagree and i do not feel that the cost should be my responsibility. my car shows all the symptoms described on the 03n01 document, which is a quality issue that ford should have resolved and clearly has not. it is unsafe driving a car that can stall without warning leaving the driver stuck in a dangerous situation. *jb .Mileage was 21800 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 14, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP . approximately 3 weeks ago, while driving on the interstate (~65 miles per hour), a cooling system light came on (2002 ford focus, manual transmission, 46,000 miles), and instantaneously, the car stalled. it almost threw me into the windshield. the car recovered and did not die, and i was able to get to where i was going. it happened again a few days later while making a right hand turn (~20 miles per hour). i brought it to pep boys, who could find nothing wrong. it stalled and died two blocks away from pep boys, so i brought it to the ford dealership. i asked them to check on any recalls because i have noticed that many focuses have this problem. they called me to tell me that it was definitely the thermostat , thermostat housing assembly and o ring, and i needed an oil change (which was done at pep boys one week earlier). they wanted $1100.00 to fix it, so i took my car home. today, i drove it to a mechanic, and it killed twice, and stalled three times (driving no more than 30 mph). the hazard light came on by itself while i was driving. the mechanic just called to tell me that the fuel pump is bad, and that is what was causing the stalling. it is a shame that i could have been killed in this car, and no recalls have been done on the 2002 ford focus for faulty fuel pumps. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45900 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 20, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . 1. two days before the engine died i noticed it was having problems starting first thing in the morning, like a sputtering. then it would go away and the car would drive fine. the car had a transmission fluid leak and so i continued to make sure it was at the right levels. 2. the day when the engine died it had been running normally. i had stopped at the store. when i got back in my car and turned it on the engine made a popping noise and then the engine "turned over" and started making a thwaping noise, like cardboard in contact with a fan blade. after towing it to a mechanic (it wouldn't start, it kept making thud-ish thwaping noises), who had worked for ford previously, he said that the 4th piston had broke and was grinding on the side of the engine block (he had taken a look at the timing belt - ok- and was testing the gears that the timing belt attached to. 3 turned with the right torque but the final one at the bottom of the engine block didn't turn unless torque greater than what was normally needed was applied. when it turned there was a thwap sound inside the engine). what made me wonder is he said that this always happened with this model on the single overhead cam engines at around 90 to 120 thousand miles. he said that he repaired numerous similar incidents with this type of engine, even guaranteeing that opening up the engine would show that the 4th piston (farthest on the right facing the front) broke. i hate to think what would have happened if i had gotten on the freeway and the piston had broke. 3. the cost to replace with a new oem engine was more than the value of the car if i were to personally sell it (based on kelly blue book) and so was the cost for a used engine ($1200 was the lowest, compared to the duel overhead cam engines for the focus which i found used for $500. seems the demand for that style engine is high). i have not repaired it. i am considering selling it to a scrap yard. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 117000 miles.

(parts lister were sender, gasket, kit, tube, gasket, filter). in researching recalls i found that model years 2000-2001 were having this exact same problems and a recall was determined for this. i do normal driving - 70% highway, 30% in town. my car is just over 5 years old, i don't believe that normal wear and tear should cause the fuel pump to fail. it seems to me that this is some kind of defect in the original part or assembly. *tr.Mileage was 85578 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Dec 18, 2004.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with WHEELS . 1. i've had problems with this tire holding air. it has given me problems ever since i purchased it. it was taken to the dealer all through warranty. i've been putting air in it which has cost me a surmountable amt of money ranging from 25 cents to whatever the market charged cost of putting air in it to the current date. it ruined a good tire after 12,000 miles of use; it was rotated all the necessary times; only the right passenger front side tire no matter how many times it was rotated; the same side is faulty; august 2008, a service center discovered the problem. i told them to examine that particular wheel and see if they could figure out what problem exists. they discovered that the wheel is bent in 4 different places. i've had to be towed from my workplace; my auto club has had to send a service shopout to change the tire or pump it up. sometimes this would happen in my driveway. after warranty it becomes the owner's problem. i believe the mfr and dealer were aware of the problem. an owner of a 2004, new at the time of purchase, also has a cracked wheel. unless this problem is corrected, it will continue to cost purchasers more monies and accidents if driven over 30-40 miles per hr. this is a mfr's defect. a vehicle in this condition should not be driven on long trips at a high rate of speed, such as on the expressways and interstates. it is dangerous regardless of speed. once air is put back into the tire, within a day's time, driven or not driven, it starts going down. basically, just being parked, it will go down anyway. with the ethics of the dealership in this area, they probably did the same thing as i've been doing., adding air to the tire and returning it back to me. thank you. *tr.Mileage was 12000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 05, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . on my 2002 ford focus, the thermostat housing began leaking coolant when the thermostat housing gasket against the engine block failed. this is a common problem on various years of the focus as verified by the comments of the ford motor co. parts sales people in saying that they sell many of the thermostat housings, and also by blogs on internet chat lines. the rubber gasket swells when it comes in contact with oil and breaks off the inner gasket-support ring, allowing the leak to happen. it is a poor design that can lead to major problems such as environmental pollution and engine failure. i would be glad to mail the affected part to you for your examination. it is amazing how completely the support ring failed, and the condition of the gasket that is not compatible with oil which leaks from the valve cover above. the part could easily be redesigned to use a standard o-ring for the seal, which is resistant to oil, and seals better. the current gasket is more like a rubber band that is held in place by the inside rim which breaks off. *tr.Mileage was 96340 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Oct 24, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . i have a 2002 ford focus and my ignition won't turn. it just froze. it was ok. all of a sudden, i had an interview to get to and got in my car and it wouldn't start. the key just wouldn't turn. i am very grateful that i was at home when it happened. i think it is a disgrace that ford knows there is a problem and won't do a recall. a recall should not be completely about a safety issue but about providing the public with quality in the cars. obviously, the consumer is of no importance to ford. i think this whole experience has made me decide to never trust a ford again. i took the car in to two mechanics which told me it would be a few days to get the dealer parts and the repair will cost over $400.00. it is a disgrace that ford knows the problem exists and has done nothing to fix it. *tr.Mileage was 53000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 31, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . i purchased a used 2002 ford focus in fl. while driving it to my home in tn, i experienced stalling at hwy speeds. i changed the fuel filter and continued on my trip. it stalled again and wouldn't restart. i had it towed to a ford dealer that diagnosed the problem as the alternator and battery. i replaced them both. the car started and i began my travel back home. upon my return home, when i would utilize the car, i would experience stalling under varying conditions. i took it to a mechanic who could not find that problem, but did replace the thermostat. typically the car would run for several hours before the stalling would begin. i could usually allow the engine to cool for approximately 20-30 minutes and the car would start. i could drive for approximately 15 minutes before it would stall again. my latest experience happened at hwy speeds. after 30 minutes of travel the car stalled and has not restarted since. i contacted ford who informed me that my car was not part of their "recall (s)" due to where it was assembled. i find it very "coincidental" that my car is experiencing the exact problems that the "recalled" cars experienced. is there a course on action that i should take? *tr.Mileage was 0 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 03, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . sudden onset, got in my car, put my key in the ignition and the key would not turn to start the car no matter what i did. researched the problem, tens of thousands of complaints from 1999 to present, owners are stranded in diff. situations, freezing cold, extreme heat, with babies/children, stranded without the ability to communicate, young women (as in my case), at night, etc. cost to repair up to $750. am trying to fix it on my own, can't afford a dealer repair! ford is aware the problem is with poor quality metal used to make the part. i wrote to ford, they say bring my car in to "have it looked at" but qualify, saying: it is not a warranty repair and to have it examined may cost me. many other owners have posted temporary and lower cost fixes on-line as ford is not willing to do a recall stating it is "not a safety issue". this is a safety issue. if someone is stranded in extreme heat or cold or a young woman is stranded because a key won't work, we are at risk and unsafe. a young child could die from exposure, become sick, a young woman could be raped or killed. ford is risking our safety and is at fault particularly because they are aware there is a problem and can do something proactively to fix the situation. that this documented situation has gone on for years is outrageous. it's frightening to get in your car at night, not have your key work, not know what's wrong or be able to do anything! when we are stranded because ford willingly put substandard parts in a vehicle, we are unsafe. prior to owning this car i had a 1973 vw bug, my key always worked with the original parts. to be expected to pay upwards of $750 for a part and labor for something that should last the life of the vehicle, that's tied to safety is unacceptable. our cars are unsafe, risking damage waiting for repair depending on where they are stranded! my safety is not important nor an issue for ford, they don't care about my car, my trust was misplaced, my car was not built tough. *tr.Mileage was 37000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 08, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . i own a 2002 ford focus. last night i was at school , a very late class that ends at 10:15pm, and when i went to turn my key it was stuck. after many failed attempts in a parking lot that is basically empty by that time and being so close to downtown and the light rail i was very afraid of being stranded in alone as i did not have my cell phone on me. finally security came around after about 1/2 hour and let me call my husband and also looked on the internet to see if this had been reported before by any car owners. turns out that this is the most common problem in 90% of ford focus years 2000-2003. i am amazed that this is public knowledge and ford themselves even acknowledge this and there has been no recall? maybe it will take something really bad to happen to someone before ford realizes how dangerous this can be? i sure hope that someone will realize this is a huge issue because had that security officer not come buy i would have been stuck there since my husband works nights. the next day ,today, i am not able to turn the switch once again but this time i am in the comfort of my own home. please i hope you are able to see the safety hazard in this issue that ford fails to see and ask that a recall be made. *tr.Ford Focus 2002 problem was reported in LITTLETON, CO.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Jan 23, 2010.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with PARKING BRAKE . i have a 2002 ford focus zx3 with a theoretically working parking brake, i've had the brakes replaced only once as i was busy and couldn't do it myself. now that i have braking problems and time i went to replace them myself. the front disc brakes look almost brand new, so i continued to remove and inspect the rear drum brakes. when i took the drums off they were tight as if the brakes were engaged so i double checked and made sure all the brakes were dis-engaged. i continued to work on the brakes and the ford dealership assures me they replaced these brakes before, however the shoes were worn and cracked down to bare metal as if they had never been replaced. i then noticed that my park brake appeared to be engaged. i double checked again and it wasn't, i had someone watch the brake as i engaged and dis-engaged the break and it works fine, come to find out the spring/wire for the parking break is to short for the car's hub, about two inches infact. i contacted the dealership and the technician i talked to said that it was common with my car and i need to have them replace the whole break assembly. so i've been driving this car for almost ten years now with the parking break engaged and ford knows about it, because they built it that way and i have to pay them to fix something that was engineered that way. if i broke it or it's wear and tear i understand, but i bought a car to be fully functional off the lot not so i can bring it in and pay for them to finish building it properly after i own it. i cant afford their outrageous prices for this work so i dis-engaged the cable and am now driving a car without an emergency brake, thanks for the safety features ford. *tr.Mileage was 150000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 02, 2010.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i bought my 2002 ford focus just 5 months ago (december 2009). when trying to start my car at a restaurant the steering wheel was completely locked, and the key would not turn in the ignition. after a full hour of trying to fix it, i had to have the car towed to a ford dealer, who replaced the ignition with a ford part that i fear has the same problem. the replacement ignition cost me over $400, and does not appear to be a long-term solution. according to many online complaints, the new ignition will fail to the same problem in time. i am limited by other options, as non-ford parts and locksmith work does not come with the 12 month-warranty that ford offers. my best option is to sell the car again before it happens, or before my warranty is up-- neither of which are a solution, but putting the problem onto someone else. this is a serious tragedy and in faulty design. i was lucky to have friends to help me in this situation, but the embarrassment and fear of it happening again are not worth it. this part needs to be recalled! *tr.Mileage was 49000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 22, 2010.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . the check engine light came on suddenly on my 2002 ford focus. immediately, i took it to the ford dealership. the technician couldn't find a problem , the check engine light wouldn't come on. therefore, nothing could be done. they didn't understand why. within in week, the engine light came back on. this time there was a miss in the engine and it was running rough. now, the ford dealership mechanic told me my focus se had a dropped valve and in the #4 cylinder. inorder to fix the problem, the head of the engine had to be removed to see if the dropping of the valve had caused serious damage to the engine. because the scheduled required maintenance,i.e oil changes, according to ford instructions for my ford focus, i thought the engine would last. after this event, i became curious about ford focus' engines. was this an isolated mechanical flaw? or was it an engine defect? from my research, this type engine failure appears to be from a defect in the design of the 2.0 liter efi spi type of engines. for years, i thought the ford focus was a great product to have because of its reliability, if you complied with scheduled maintenance of the vehicle. it appears that i was wrong. the cost of repair for a well-maintain focus engine $6000.00. there is a pattern to these engine failures. should the 2002 focus be recalled for engine defects? all i know is that quality well-maintain engines shouldn't have dropped valves for no apparent reason. so, it must be some type of engines design defect. *tr.Mileage was 139638 miles.

Ford Focus 2002 Unknown Or Other Review #10378332

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Jan 23, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . i bought a 2002 ford fozus zx3 with automatic transmission in the fall of 2010. i found myself having trouble with the ignition key not turning once inserted into the ignition cylinder. this occurred quite frequently (approximately once every two weeks) and i had to play with the steering wheel and the key for at least five minutes every time. i did not consider it to be a substantial problem until last night. i was at my friend's apartment and around 1:30 am i decided to leave. i got in my car, inserted the key in the ignition and could not turn it at all and the steering wheel was locked. i was in my friend's driveway for about a half hour, trying everything i could possibly think of to get the steering wheel to unlock and the key to turn. i engaged the gear release and manually put the car into neutral, i blew on the ignition with my hand cupped over it, as i thought this issue may have been caused due to the cold weather. i locked and unlocked the doors, because i thought it may have been a safety feature. after a half hour of effort with no results i had to call my parents and ask them to come pick me up, both of them had to work in the morning and my 62 year old father had to get out of bed, and come get me at 2 in the morning in the middle of jan. i was ten minutes from my house, but every other time this has happened i've been approximately 30 minutes from my house or more. this has been a major disappointment and cause for concern, especially since my family and i have grown to trust and depend on ford vehicles. my oldest brother's first car was a mustang, my other brother's first car was a thunderbird and he now drives and escape. my father currently drives a ranger, my mother's last vehicle was a windstar, and my first car was an explorer. it served me well and when i had the opportunity to buy another ford i didn't have to think twice, but this latest experience has made me seriously second guess what i had thought to be an american name i could trust. *ln.Mileage was 131000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Mar 14, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . two nights ago i drove my 2002 ford focus zx3 to a nearby bank to use the walk-up atm. since it was after business hours, i parked along a curb, but not in a parking space. i used the atm and upon returning to the car, my key refused to turn in the ignition cylinder. it was as if all of the sudden my key was the wrong key for the vehicle. since i was not in a parking spot, i put on my hazard lights and ran a half mile to my home to retreive my spare key. upon returning, i found that it did not work either. no matter what i tried, the key would not turn in the ignition cylinder. i wanted to get the car to a parking space so i put the car (a manual transmission) into neutral and began pushing it forward. the steering wheel was locked, and because i could not move the key, i had two options - move the car straight forward, or move the car straight back. i moved the car forward to a slightly better spot, but could not maneuver it into a true parking spot. i called for a tow truck since the car would surely be towed at the start of business hours the next day. when the tow truck operator arrived he told me he had seen this problem before in fords, and said that i was lucky to have a manual transmission, otherwise he would likely not be able to tow it (it was a flatbed tow truck). i had him tow the car to a local ford dealership. that night i looked up information online and found that many fords 2000-2003 have had this problem - some people even said the key would get stuck in the ignition. the next day the dealership informed me that there were no recalls on the key cylinder issue, but that they would fix the problem for $501.56. i saw no alternative and had them put in a new ignition cylinder and issue 2 new keys. the dealer kept the old parts (old ignition cylinder and keys). the new ignition cylinder appears to be working fine (but keep in mind the old one appeared to be working fine as well before malfunctioning). *tr.Mileage was 125540 miles.

Ford Focus 2002 Fuel System, Gasoline Review #10392402

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Mar 17, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . on march 17, 2011, my 2002 ford focus suddenly stalled out as i was accelerating uphill, turning right on a ramp to enter a busy highway. fuel tank was about ¼. i restarted the engine a couple times, but it stalled out again after a few seconds. it was potentially a dangerous situation, but luckily i was able to roll the car back downhill to a safer location. (later i learned that an identical scenario is described in ford dealer letter 03n01, in which ford agrees to replace fuel delivery modules for 2000 and 2001 models, but not 2002.) i had the car towed to a ford dealer, but they were not able to look at it till the next morning, at which time the car started fine. ford ran many tests, including electrical and mechanical, took it out for 3 ¿ 4 test drives and could not find a problem. they charged $150 for the diagnostic labor. this car has done this every year now for the past 3 years. similar, but not identical, stalls occurred on march 16, 2009, march 10, 2010 and march 17, 2010. each time, i had to have the car towed. locations were different, so it was always a different shop. none of them were able to look at it right away, and by the time they looked at it the next day, they could not find the problem. however, each one charged about $150 labor. those 3 incidents also required a new 15 amp fuse for the fuel pump, perhaps because of the repeated unsuccessful efforts to restart the car after it stalled. this year, i stopped trying to restart after 4 unsuccessful efforts. the fuse did not blow this year. in between these stallouts, usually exactly one year apart, the engine has started and run smoothly, with no indication of problems. each time a stall has happened, the car has worked fine the next day, without any addition of fuel. this indicates that it is not a problem with the quality or quantity of fuel in the tank. the only explanation that i can see for these unpredictable failures is a defect in the fuel delivery system. *tr .Mileage was 97800 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 02, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . this car was purchased new by grandma. she sold it to her grandson this year. it is "like new" and was always kept in an enclosed garage. it has had dealer servicing. the last 10,000 miles it has intermittently failed to maintain an idle. when coming to a stop the car will often die. we took it to the dealer twice and an independent shop once - everyone thought it was the fueling/emission system but there were no error codes and it was difficult to diagnose but because it only happened on occasion. then the overdrive solenoid failed and gave an error code. by replacing the solenoid the idle problems stopped. my mechanic has a theory - the overdrive solenoid will start to fail without giving an error code, during this period the torque converter will occasionally stay locked-up in overdrive, thus the car when just idling can't overcome the transmission resistance and not idle properly or stop running, which ours did. many dollars were wasted on fuel system checks and cleanings.before we found the answer - it was also very dangerous. this part is very small and appears to be poorly made. ford forums show it will fail again and again. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 74968 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . this is our first year driving this focus in the snow, we bought it in 2011. we had a snow fall on 11/1/2012 and we took the car out for a drive. any speed above 35 mph and the rear of the car floats (wiggles) back and forth up to a foot. it is completely unstable on snow or ice. i did some research online, and ford apparently knows the problem,: defective rear upper control arms, since they did a silent recall on these in 2006. nhtsa should investigate this since there are many more focus out there like ours, and ford should have to recall and replace the control arms on all of these units from 2000-2004. i have over 35 years of winter driving experience and i have never had a vehicle (even the old rear wheel drive models) behave so dangerously on snow and ice, even with all season tires on it. i contacted ford motor company and they said there is nothing they have to do since the car is out of warranty. here is an attached article i found on line. october 03, 2006 ford motor company told dealers that they may need to replace the rear upper control arms on ford focus models. the models include: 2000 through 2004 focus sedan, wagon, zx3 and zx5 series. ford will check the rear camber and, if possible, make an adjustment. if an adjustment to the vehicle's rear camber is necessary beyond the negative end of specification, then the dealership will need to source replacement rear upper control arm(s)." this is considered a "silent recall" where upon ford may not notify owners of this condition. . *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30422 miles.

Ford Focus 2002 Power Train Review #10489557

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 27, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . ford dealership in woodruff, wi replaced front right drive axle and seal 4 times before they got it right and the leak stopped. this initial leak was found by the owner after the car was taken in for a full check upon purchasing indicating the dealership did not inspect the car as they stated and were paid to do. the same day after getting the car back for the last time shifting problems began to occur and i had to replace the overdrive solenoid because the car would not shift into overdrive. this solved that problem but now the car shudders between 40-50 mph as if it is shifting back and forth between gears. nothing shows up on a diagnostic check, may be expensive torque converter problem. a large number of posts on the inernet show transmission problems and solenoids are a common problem with ford focus cars and unfortunately some people are led to believe they need a new transmission which they have replaced probably due to misdiagnosis and at a huge unnecessary expense. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 129000 miles.

[xxx] has not been in touch and i have not heard a word from ford. i appreciate the problems of airbags going off when the should not, or going off unexpectedly - but if airbags do not go off when there is an impact there is a problem! if it happens once or twice it may be a fluke - this is not the case! airbag failure in the 2002 for focus is a reported problem by many - reported to you over and over - let there not be a death because you and ford did not do the right thing - check these vehicles - all of them! one life is too precious not to do what is clearly the right thing - do a recall! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 29, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2002, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . in tank electric fuel pump failure due to manufacturing defect failed and caused the car to stop dead. fortunately the driver had not as yet entered the moving traffic lane! ford knows there is a problem with this fuel pump and yet would rather spend millions in tv ads then repair or replace faulty safety hazard items in their products! just take a count of all the autos made by ford with this faulty fuel pump at an average dollar cost ( so far no lost or crippled lives) of $1000 per and determine that by not running one prime time halftime national football game ad they could easily repair all those vehicles, have a clear conscience about the safety of their product users and gain priceless value worth maybe 10 times the cost of the single ad? they did in fact allegedly issue an extended warranty for my 2002 ford focus that stated replace on failure up to 100,000 miles but alas they now deny this. i also wonder why an electric item would be submersed in a fuel cell and wonder why they have been so luckily as to not have any fuel tanks explode as of now? " my point" driving an auto that may stop running (without warning) due to a defective part should be (at the very least) repaired at company cost not passed on the the owner who may have already survived a near death experience when their car died at 60 mph with semi trucks all around? not our case but next to worst case after tank explosion! just because it hasn't happened yet is no excuse to not take full responsibility for the repair. no part on any modern auto (due to normal use) should fail ( as if it had a clock built in) just past the 60,000 mile mark even if it took 12 years to reach the miles under the 36 month 60,000 mile so called factory warranty? .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 67000 miles.
