FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2004.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . june 2004, i purchased a new 2004 focus with p195.60.15 good year eagle rsa tires. i assume this is a standard tire used by ford for this model, as i was not asked by the dealership if i would like to upgrade or change the tires. i never dreamed a car would be sold in this area without an adequate functional tire on. i am unable to control this vehicle in winter weather. with no warning, the car will veer out of control. i have driven in this type weather conditions for years, but never have i ever had a car with this type of handling problem. i do not have any difficulty with it in rain or dry conditions, so it is not a mechanical malfunction. i have had multiple failures in december & january. i was told by good year tire dealer that the tires are a high-performance tire and are not meant for winter driving. there are no gripping treads for snow and ice. i have to replace the tires on this car with 5,600 miles on them for safety purposes so that i do not risk injury or death to myself or someone else. i just do not understand why ford has put this type of a tire on the vehicle. i should have been told by ford the tires are not adequate for certain conditions. i am very upset that i have to replace a set of new tires on a new vehicle so that i can feel safe and not have an accident due to incorrect tires. i contacted the dealership where i purchased the car, however, they are not being very cooperative with my complaint. the only explanation i receive from them is that they don't know what i am talking about, or they have never had that kind of a complaint, or i am using bad driving judgment for the conditions. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5300 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 09, 2007.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE . i purchased a 2004 svt focus 10/06. in 12/06, the coil pack went bad, they fixed the vehicle under warranty. on 3/9/07 as i was leaving a friends house, the same symptoms happened to me as this past december, then went away very quickly. i made the decision to drive my vehicle home and call the dealership. i never made it home. about a 1/4 mile from my friends house, the vehicle began to shake and shutter very violently. i pulled over quickly and smoke started to come from under the hood. i lifted the hood and the coil pack that had been replaced was glowing red and shooting sparks and began to not only catch itself on fire, but started setting all the cables and other things on fire.at the same time the clutch also exploded and blew through the bellhousing. which there is a tsb issued by ford on. also, at this time, the vehicle was still trying to run all on its own, and the keys were in my pocket. i am unsure of the exact cause of the fire, but it was not done by anything that i was doing or had done to the vehicle. it currently has 35,900 miles on it and is still under warranty. side note, after the whole incident with the coil pack back in december, i just recently decided to pull up the history on my vehicle from ford's database. in december i was brought into the office at the dealership and almost blamed for abuse of the coil because it was so destroyed. yet, when i looked up my history it says that all that was replaced was a connector on the coil, not the coil itself. so, the coil was never actually replaced, but i was almost being blamed for destroying my coil. i am still fighting to get my vehicle fixed under warranty and being treated very poorly. i am a mechanic by trade and i'm being talked to and treated like a 5 year old anytime i try to get answers. they are still not taking responsiblity for the mechanical/electrical failure of their vehicle that they claimed to fix. *ak .Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35900 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on June 23, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STEERING . i have a 2004 ford focus. i parked my vehicle at church on sunday and when i came out - i put my key in the ignition to start my car and it was locked up. no matter what i tried i couldn't turn the key or start my car. i called my brother-in-law to come help me. he tried to and nothing worked. he had the suggestion to look on the internet - to look up ford focus and key won't turn on google. i did just that - and there were numerous complaints of this happening to people that had ford focus's. a suggestion on there - was to get a small hammer or the end of a screw driver and while you put the key in the ignition - push it real hard and hit the key with a hammer. it worked! my key moved to the start position and i was able to drive my car home. the website that told us to try that said - it would work to get the car to where you wanted it to go - but that you would need a new part for the ignition and it sounded like it would cost quite a lot. i don't have the money for this - so i just leave my key in the ignition at all times - and use my spare key to unlock the car. i feel that there needs to be a recall for this - as many, many people online have complained - it said ford focus from years 200-2004 (mine is a 2004). a person can become stranded as this can happen to someone anywhere they park their car. this was covered under warranty - however, my warranty has long passed. something is wrong with this - since everyone is having problems - i believe it definitely needs to be recalled. thank you for any help on this matter. tricia walter .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 115000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on May 28, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . 1. ford focus (2004) has for the past month had trouble with the key turning in the ignition. apparently it is a well known issue and ford refuses to acknowledge that it is a safety issue. however, i absolutely believe that being stranded somewhere at night is very much a safety issue - whether or not ford admits this possibility. 2. the key does not turn because of a defect in the ignition switch (or so i've read online). this problem has occurred thousands of times according to online complaints and petitions, without ford recognizing it and taking action. this problem renders the car completely unusable until fixed and the repair can be very costly and time consuming. it is most certainly a safety issue - what is safe about being unable to start one's car if one is on the side of the highway, at night in an unknown city, etc? 3. nothing has been done yet because i am waiting to see if ford customer service can explain why the company refuses to admit the issue and reimburse it's customers for their faulty design. *tr.Mileage was 75000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH . 1) turned headlight swith to "on" on my 2004 ford focus ztw 2) turning the headlights on caused the rear hatch to open uncommanded. 3) i removed the cover from the hatch and disconnected the wiper motor and latch unlock solenoid connectors. then, to find the possible problem, i inspected the wire bundle in the area of the hatch hinge and found several wires frayed and broken. so turning on the headlights apparently sent a signal (short) to the latch solenoid. a friend had a similar problem. his hatch would pop open when the ignition was turned to start the car. two dealers told me they would not be of any help unless i paid at least $350 to repair the problem. this is a safety issue. remeber the chysler mini van hatch recall? i have been watching the toyota sua hearings and decided to challenge you guys and see if you would review and contact me as mr. lahood said you would. i know you are busy and understaffed. i do not blame you as some are intent upon. i spent my life as an a&p mechanic at american airlines and know the importance of safety. thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon. ps ford has had knowledge of this problem in other model years of the focus. *tr.Ford Focus 2004 problem was reported in FALL CITY, WA.

FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on Apr 11, 2010.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . the ignition lock froze up without warning leaving us stranded across town. thankfully we were in a safe part of town with access to tools so we got the problem resolved temporarily. the ignition can be un frozen by taking apart the steering column and removing all electrical components from the lock. then put a drip pan under the lock and blow all the metal shavings out of the lock with a liquid lubricant. do not use wd40. we used a firearm lubricant which will not clump the new shavings and it has worked rather well so far (breakfree). as a precaution we leave the key in the lock which is risky to do in bad parts of town. to circumvent this we remove the key rfid sensor from the car which prevents the engine from starting at all no matter what the lock is doing. this has started to create problems with the immoblizer in the car and now we are looking at needing that to be reset every so often. the best place to get this fixed is not at the dealership as they will use the same crappy parts that got you into this mess to start. go to a lock smith and have them use non ford parts. we are waiting on a aftermarket lock to arrive from http://www.sandiegolockandsafe.com which has considerable experience on this issue (along with most lock smiths worth their salt). if this happens to you and you live in california go here: http://www.fazmiclaw.com/ , send them a message and attach yourself to the now pending lawsuit (08-15-2010). *tr.Mileage was 87000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2004 car safety problem was reported on Apr 16, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2004, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . the key will not turn in the ignition. this has been ongoing for two months. it takes several minutes of jiggling to finally get the ignition lock to release. i drive this car on business, including in remote areas. it is scary to try to start the car and have the key not turn. so far, i've always been able to get it to eventually work, but this is ridiculous. we've just started experiencing the same issue on my wife's 2007 ford focus. in researching this, it has been a problem on the focus since the beginning and apparently ford has refused to acknowledge the issue or change the ignition lock mechanisms on later focus models. potentially getting stranded at night or in a remote area due to a faulty ignition lock is a serious safety issue. one should never have a problem in turning the key in the ignition. for what it is worth, i am a career safety and risk management consultant working in the commercial insurance industry with 35 years experience. *tt.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.
