FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2005.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS . i purchased a brand new 2005 ford focus zx4 in december of 2005. upon delivery i noticed my car had a hard time starting and the whole engine would shake and knock. after a month i took it into the dealer and they said they couldn't find a problem. the condition continued and i took it in again and they couldn't find a problem but asked to keep it for an overnight start. i brought it in a few days later so they could keep it over night and they found a bulletin by ford saying they know there is a hard start problem but they don't know how to fix it. i then had to have the driver's seat belt replaced because it wouldn't unlatch occasionally. i then had to have the passenger side door casing replaced because it was discolored. then about a month and a half ago i was driving down the highway at 62 miles an hour and my clutch went out and my car died in the middle of the highway. i was almost hit by another car and had to weight in 90 degree weather for 2 hours for a tow truck to come. my car was towed to ford and they said my fly wheel had crumbled and my clutch was bad. it took them 9 days to replace my clutch. a day later my car would not downshift without grinding and i had to take it back to the dealer. they said that this time they had to replace my transmission because it was ruined as well. to this day my car is still in the shop and has been there for 32 days just for the replacement of the transmission. my car is only 8 months old and has been in the shop for repair or diagnosis for a total of 45 days so far. neither wendle motors or ford will replace the car so i am perusing a lemon law case. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 9000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 24, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . ford focus has less than 7800 miles on it, and yesterday morning at 5:30 am while consumer's husband was driving to work on south bound on i-75 at 75 mph the driver's side air bag deployed for no apparent reason. *ak thankfully he was not injured however, since he was nearly the only vehicle on the road at the time this is cause for great concern. he immediately called pat milliken ford where we leased the vehicle and they asked him to bring it in that evening for repair. this afternoon (1-25-06) we get a call from the service department that we need to file an insurance claim becuase there is a small dent under the vehicle which possibly hit the sensor and caused the airbag to deploy. they informed us that an adjuster would have to come out and look at it. this has to be a manufacturing defect. there is no way that if something hit the sensor under the car the side airbag should deploy. i have an 8-month old child who's car seat is located behind the drivers side, i can only thank god she was not in the vehicle at the time. while you prepare yourself for the bags to deploy when involved in an accident you never expect them to deploy while driving down a highway. i don't know where to begin filing a claim but i will start with you and will not end until i get some results. i never want to see this happen to anyone else. thankfully there was no one else on the road at the time, my husband could have been seriously injured or worse, caused an accident himself when this incident occured. pat milliken ford told us that there have been at least 3 other ford focus's brought in for the same identical reason. clearly there is something wrong that needs to be looked into for the safety of everyone who owns a ford focus. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 7690 miles.

Ford Focus 2005 Other Review #10162260

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 29, 2005.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with OTHER . i purchased a 2005 ford focus in october of 2004. after a rainstorm in november of 2005, a major leak occurred, leaving over 2 inches of water on the front, passenger floor. the dealership fixed the car. in july of 2006 i found water in the same location. after the dealership looked at the car, they stated that it is coming from a different location (not where they originally sealed it). they went on to tell me that they would have to remove my dashboard, requiring extensive labor, to locate the new cause of the leak. unfortunately, my warranty is up because i drive far to work. i have only gone 700 miles over my limit. after speaking with many agents at the ford motor company i find i am out of luck. a service representative said that if there were enough complaints they would have to file a recall but he has not had any yet. (i am the first...i �find that hard to believe). i went on-line to search for others in my situation. i found numerous websites with complaints of ford focuses leaking on the passenger floor. please visit the following sites for additional complaints. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/ http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ee9b783/30 http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=1134094#post1134094 http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.ford.focus/search.html?q=water+leak. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP34N75W.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 19, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES:TREAD/BELT . i was westbound on 5th st. in olivehurst, ca, and headed to olivehurst drive. the conditions were dry and cool, and the speed limit was 25 mph. i had not yet come up to the speed limit (below 10 mph) when my front end began to shake. seconds later, my passenger and i heard a loud bang, and the front end swerved sharply to the right. i tried to correct to the left, and ended up clipping a pole (on the right side of the road) instead of hitting it head on. my passenger sustained a blow to his knee. no other injuries occurred, and we did not feel it necessary to call an ambulance. as there was minimal scrapes on the power pole, and my car was not covered for collision damage, i did not notify the authorities. my right front tire was bent inward, and the tire was blown down the center of the tread. upon replacing the tire with the spare, we found that the a arm had separated from the rotor, and the right cv axle had pulled away from the transmission, effectively disabling my car. the tire in question is a goodyear eagle rs-a p195/60r15; the original tire from the purchase date of 9/13/05, and with less than 27,000 miles on the odometer. the tires were close to bald prior to the blowout, and i had been considering taking them in for a warranty replacement due to their short lifespan. i have had prior tire rotations done at larry geweke ford in yuba city, and they had not informed me of any tread wear problems at the time for this particular tire. this type of defect could have easily killed myself and my passenger if it had occurred at higher speeds. *nm.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 27774 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 24, 2007.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT . on 2/24/07, i made a purchase at a drive through window at a fast food restaurant. i leaned across the center console to place the order on the passenger side floor. while doing so, i bumped the gear shift and it moved from drive to neutral without depressing the lock button on the side of the gear shift handle. upon arriving home, i tested the gear shift handle, and found i could move it from reverse to neutral to drive, and from drive to neutral, all without depressing the gear shift release button. it seems to me that unintended shifting while driving could result in a serious incident, and i believe the shift release button is designed to prevent that. on this vehicle, this is a problem. *jb.Mileage was 26150 miles.

Ford Focus 2005 Seats Review #10209095

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 27, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SEATS . i owned a 2005 ford focus station wagon and suffered a rear end collision while stopped at a light. as a result of the poor seat construction, my lumbar spine was wedged in the gap between the seat cushion and the back cushion during the impact. at the time, i had the seat lowered for comfort. unfortunately, as you lower the seat, you also create a gap between the seat cushion and the back cushion, exposing the lumbar spine to that gap. this is where my lower spine was wedged as a result of the rear-end collision. the back cushion has too little support to keep the spine from buckling and wedging itself, butt first. now, the gap wasn't that big for me, only about an inch or so, but the seat padding around the gap is unsupported and flexible. imagine now a rear end collision with a tall person sitting in that seat, where there is a considerable gap between the seat cushion and the back cushion, say maybe two or more inches. in a rear end collision, with the front brakes applied, the rear of the vehicle actually buckles upward and forward, while the bodies in the car move down and back, as in my case (since objects at rest [my body] respond only after the impact to the vehicle). just watch all those dummy commercials... this is a serious safety hazard if you manipulate the lever to lower the seat cushion. fact: the european ford focus driver seat moves as an entire unit (both seat cushion and back cushion move together as a unit, never creating such a gap) fact: the u.s. model is the cheap alternative to give the impression of an adjustable seat. instead, the lever lowers and raises only the seat bucket portion for the driver, while exposing a gap between it and the back cushion. the back support stays in the same place another fact: all european models have headrests in the back seat another fact: al u.s. models have no headrests in the back seat. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 20, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . 1)there wasn't much leading up to the failure. it just happened. not one, but both of the casings for our rear/brake signal lights melted. that meant that the lamp assembly, or hole, that the light bulb socket goes into, melted in both the left and right rear lights even though we never changed the bulbs before in our car. the casing, or lamp assembly, became warped after melting so that we couldn't even twist the light bulb socket to change the bulb. 2) this made it so that both rear/break lights do not work. 3) we took it to the dealership. this is incredibly frustrating. it should have taken us no more than $4 to buy and change a light bulb. instead it took the $181.89 to replace the left casing (lamp asy), bulb and socket asy. dealer said problem might be due to driving in stop-and-go traffic and that he has seen this problem before in our car. we need to get the right/rear light fixed also, same problem. i contacted the customer relations division for the car company. they contend they are siding with the dealership that this is a stop-and-go traffic problem. they refuse to fix it and say it's not covered by my warranty. my concern is that there are all these people driving in cities whose plastic parts are incompatible with the heat of the lightbulbs. this is a safety problem as i don't know if this could cause a fire if plastic parts, like the casing, can't withstand heat. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . i have a 2005 ford focus with over 84k miles on the vehicle. i have been experiencing trouble opening the doors. they used to stick but now they just don't close. the front passenger door sticks and is hard to open & both rear doors do not close. i took the vehicle to russ milne ford in macomb mich. they want over $700 to repair the doors. i found it appalling that they would charge that much money for something that i view as a design flaw that they should repair for free considering the saftey hazard this could cause. i called the ford customer service number and opened ticket #0615822478 and they told me that there is nothing they could do for me because of the mileage. i realize this is not a luxury sedan so the fact that there is loud wind noise, shakes and rattles and even the front arm rest flinging itself off its base and breaking doesn't really bother me or the mp3 player not reading the discs or the trunk button requiring several pushes before it opens the trunk doesn't give me great concern, but i certainly expect the doors to close. if i were complaining about the cheap wheels that i've had to replace twice already or the tires or the engine, i could see being told it was due to the mileage but these are doors that i should expect to close. i read through the owner's manual and even though it broke out maintenance schedules for tires, oil, etc, no where did it say that one could expect the doors to stop closing after "x" miles. at how many miles should i have expected the doors to stop closing? 25, 30, 50 thousand? i found a recall notice for 2004-5 for the exact thing that was happening to my doors. recall number: 05v030000 so when i called the dealership, they said it did not apply to my vehicle. they said that recall was only for vehilces bulit up to january of 2005 and that my vehicle was built in july of 2005. imagine that, i have the same issuei would appreciate your attention to my case. thanks..Mileage was 84321 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Oct 03, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . noticed on the way home from work on friday that when i clicked on the left turn signal, it went in a "fast blink" which usually means a burned out bulb, short, or blown fuse, but usually just a burned out bulb. once i got home in the driveway, i get out and test the lights and see that the front left turn signals are flashing fast, and the back left turn signal is not flashing at all. i'm still hoping for a burned out bulb at this point. i make a note to change it out in the morning. on saturday oct 4th i pull off the left rear lighting assembly, consisting of two screws holding it to the car, and i find two bulb connections; the bottom one (brake lights) has a normal quarter turn and pull out connector to get to the bulb. only that bulb is fine. the top one also has one of those "quarter-turn-and-pull" connectors, only it does not "pull" heck it doesn't even quarter turn, it's frozen in place, and the back side of this light assembly is melted into an egg shape (supposed to be round). now i'm not into just a bulb any more. it's saturday, and my nearest ford dealership is on m-f bankers hours, so i order a replacement from autozone for $100 which should be here this week. i see from nhtsa web site that there are no existing recalls for this issue, however somebody else apparently has also submitted this exact same problem. i will be asking my ford dealer about it this coming week, but i am also filing this complaint to document a part failure on a car that is only three years old, and whatever the reason; this failure involves electrical systems, external lighting, melting plastic parts, and failed safety equipment. i leave it up to you to determine if further action is required. *tr updated 02/19/10. *lj the consumer stated the issue with the melted assembly around the brake light socket was not limited to the back left, but also present in the back light tail light of his 2005 ford focus station wagon. updated 02/19/10.*jb updated 08/20/10*jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 34000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 14, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . my 2005 ford focus which i bought new off the dealership now has 100000 miles on it. within the past year, while driving, the back end fishtails back and forth as if it is being hit by a strong wind. as soon as i told a repair shop this they immediately recognized the problem because they have had many other focus owners complaining about the same thing. the rear control arm assembly is defective. this is not something that should need to be ever changed on a vehicle. the repair shop said that when they order a new one from ford, the new one sent is much stronger and bulkier which tells them that ford is aware of this defect. the repair bill for this is over $1200! this is very dangerous as you feel you are loosing control of the vehicle at any time. upon hearing this, i contacted my parents who also have a ford focus and they said that though they have only half the number of miles on their vehicle it is also a 2005 model and it has started to do this also to them but they didn't know what to think, if it was just bad roads or what. very dangerous and ford has no response to my questions! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 23, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . we purchased our 2005 ford focus zx4 ses brand new in february 2005. since the date of purchase we have had to replace the rear tires 5 times, two of the 5 times we replaced the whole set. the original factory tires on the rear of vehicle (yokohama 205/50/zr16) were bald at 11,000 miles. at that time we replaced them with 4 new yokohama tires. six months later, we had to buy another complete set of tires (michelin/205/55/r16) because the tires in the rear were cupping and wearing in a diagonal cross pattern. we took the vehicle to ford both times and they denied that there was any factory defects on the vehicle. ford claimed it must be an alignment issue, we paid $79.99 for a 4 wheel alignment, and even had the front end checked, as well as shocks and struts, and ford claimed there was nothing wrong. since then, we have had to replace the tires 3 more times, just last week buying two new tires for the rear. we replaced tires on 7/13/2006 (16,463 miles), then on 7/6/2007 (25,926 miles), then on 1/16/2009 (43, 556 miles). all of the tires purchased had 80,000-85,000 mile warranties on them. ford refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem with these vehicles, and clearly our vehicle is not the only one to experience this problem. reference oib-nhtsa, tsb #19064. ford should be forced to fix the defects with these vehicles, at no cost to the consumers who purchased them in good faith. we shouldn't have to invest $3,000 in costs for tires in 3.25 years. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 11000 miles.

Ford Focus 2005 Suspension Review #10267175

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 16, 2008.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION . i purchased my used vehicle in 06/08 and immediately there were issues with the tires. i took it back to the dealership and they agreed to replace "one bad tire". in order to keep all the tires in good and equal condition i purchased three more. over the past 10 months it has been back to the dealership three times for "alignment issues" and to a private alignment shop for the same issue. extensive research online has indicated that there is a "known issue" with the ford focus that allows a "generous" spread for alignment specs. as long as it can be aligned within ford's specs it is considered acceptable, however the tires continue to wear unevenly causing vibration and incorrect tread wear. i was told by ford today that they don't know what the "number is" but that they are allowed to do nothing until that "magic number" is reached. evidently they have also issued a "silent recall" that allows only those vehicles that cannot be adjusted to their "generous" specs to be repaired. this is not only a potential safety issue when it comes to tire wear but affects tracking in snow and water which also heightens risk. *tr.Mileage was 64000 miles.

Ford Focus 2005 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10269322

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . the inner brake pads on the front axles are prone to binding due to rust. the clearances are very tight. this causes premature, uneven brake and rotor wear once the pad rusts up and stops floating. my pads just failed after 42k miles; yet the outer pads were over 1/4" thick. i propose a several-part remedy (first 3 to be done by servicing technician): 1. examine the pads more frequently than the usual once a year required by typical safety inspections; pull the wheels and check for movement of the inboard pads. the pads may have to be retracted with a c clamp so they have room to move. 2. if the pads are frozen, remove brake disk and pads and remove rust on the sliding surface down to bare metal with a flat file, until pads slide freely. 3. lubricate surfaces with molykote or similar anti-seize compound. 4. the manufacturer should review the design with brake vendors to come up with a solution which could be incorporated into replacement pads. if slightly shorter pads are the answer, they should include anti-rattle measures. also, a squealer spring should be added to contact the brake disk when the pad is almost gone to give an audible warning to the driver. these work well on chryslers (i don't know who makes them). *tr.Mileage was 42000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . i was driving home with my three boys when our 2005 ford focus started jerking and sputtering, lost power, and died on some railroad tracks. my husband and i had it towed to goodyear where they said the fuel pump fuse blew. they replaced the fuse and sent us on our way. not even a half hour later the fuse blew again. we had it towed back to goodyear where they replaced the fuel pump and filter. not even a week later the fuse blew again. we let the car sit for a few days trying to figure out what to do. my husband decided to replace the fuse himself and drive it to see what it would do. well, the car lost power and shut down completely over another set of railroad tracks. we called goodyear to bring it back, and they refused; so we had it towed to another mechanic. this mechanic has again replaced the fuel pump and told us the system was filthy! the fuel pump jerked dramatically when he'd start it, which is why he replaced it again. the computer is still saying the module is bad; so he ordered a new one from ford, who at first claimed they didn't know what he was talking about. they wouldn't even tell him where it was located; so when he receives the part, he'll have to figure it out. we don't know how much this is going to cost now. with goodyear it already cost us $600, which they refuse to reimburse. i've called ford, and they refuse to help saying there's no recall on this model. i've looked this specific problem up, and the fuel pump and system has been recalled on all ford focuses from 2000-2004. my car was built in 2004! somebody please help us! if we didn't owe money on it, we'd junk it. thank god we were not on the freeway when this happened! and thank god my kids are big enough to help us push it off the railroad tracks! *tr.Mileage was 38000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 02, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . for two weeks i heard and felt a slight pop in the front driverside wheel when accelerating from a stop and then when applying the brakes after gaining some momentum. took it to get looked at by mechanic and actually looked at the area in question myself. (control arm, ball joint, cv, sway link, steering assembly and struts) we could not determine the problem nor could we recreate the 'pop' with the car on the lift. was suggested that i have my engine mount bushings replaced which is fairly cheap and easy. while waiting for the bushings to arrive my ball joint 'failed'. it did not break, it just slipped out. i was driving approximately 30mph on secondary residential road which was free of bumps, dips, etc. suddenly i hear a bang, the car jerks and tire screeches. i thought it must be a transmission problem so i put the car in neutral and steer it onto the shoulder. upon exiting the vehicle i see the driverside wheel has unattached from the ball joint and is now kicked out @ 90degrees. the cv is torn from transmission, stabilizer link is twisted, strut was bent way back, tire has hole worn in it, slight body damage. i was extremely lucky that i had not made it o the highway yet. the ball joint was not broken in any way; it had just slipped from its cuff. i now have the ball joint and bolt that holds it to the suspension knuckle at home for my own inspection. there is clearly a safety issue here. this is an engineering and design flaw and should have never made it past the drawing board. basically, you have barely 1/16" of the side of the 1/2" bolt exposed to a groove for roughly 1/4". i measured these with a pair of high grade calipers and was appalled, i was appalled when i just looked at the assembly,but those numbers are weak. my sister was in a near fatal auto accident last year. it was never understood what caused the accident. she was in a coma. guess what... she was driving a ford focus. *tr.Mileage was 65000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 25, 2006.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i purchased this vehicle new in 2005. within the first year and a half i started noticing that the dash lights would illuminate when the vehicle was parked, no keys in the ignition. the abs and battery light would flicker on and off accompanied by a buzzing sound. the wireless remotes stopped working as well. i brought the vehicle to ford as it was still within the three year/36,000 mile warranty period. they said that they could not duplicate the problem. they re-programmed the wireless remotes. after this the problem continued with the flickering lights and buzzing sound and also the wireless remotes stopped working. i returned the vehicle to ford and they told me that the dash lights were malfunctioning and they would have to open up the dash, they quoted me $700 just to open up and diagnose plus the labor charges for whatever the problem was. this was right after the the year/36,000 mile warranty period was over. i mentioned that i had been to the dealership for the very same reason when the vehicle was under warranty but they could not find the problem. ford said that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. ford did not fix this issue and also said that the wireless remotes could not be reprogrammed. in the years since the initial problem, i have had to put in two new alternators. the dash lights flicker almost continuously. the dash display (speedometer, odometer, etc.) has completely cut out while driving the vehicle several time. the vehicle still operates but loses power when the dash cuts out. when the dash display cuts out you are driving without a gas gauge, speedometer, etc. when the dash lights come back on, there is a "hiccup" or power surge accompanied by the same buzzing sound that occurs when the dash lights are flickering when the vehicle is parked. *tr.Mileage was 17000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 09, 2007.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . both rear doors are stuck closed and cannot be opened. brought vehicle to ford dealer to see if this repair was covered under the warranty for door latches. i was told that this vehicle was not covered. ford quoted me a price of over $700 to replace the hardware inside of the door that had "oxidized". the passenger side rear door stopped opening a few years ago but this was not a major concern as i rarely have passengers in the rear of the vehicle. about a week ago the driver's side rear door stopped functioning for no apparent reason. it is interesting that the problem with this vehicle is almost identical to the recall that was issued for the door latches, yet it seems that there are many other ford focuses that are not covered under the warranty based on vin#. this could become a safety issue if the door were to open while the vehicle is in motion or if passengers were unable to exit the vehicle in an emergency situation (for example, an accident in which the front doors were damaged, there would be no exit from vehicle if both rear doors are stuck). i purchased this vehicle new in 2005 and the back doors were rarely used. *tr.Mileage was 26000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 15, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR . my ford focus had a problem one year ago where a small plastic piece snapped inside the door which made the drivers side door inaccessible from the outside. a year later, today, the same thing happened with the passenger side door. since this is a 2 door hatchback model, and the back hatch key lock is not working, there is no way to enter my vehicle. the piece that has broken is a small wedge shaped plastic component, which seems poorly made, and now requires me to spend over 300.00 dollars, and i must wait 3 days before the car can even be inspected. i think this is a safety related issue, because what would happen if a person were to have their child in a car seat in the vehicle when they stepped out, and realized they could not enter. also, what if someone were to consider their vehicle reliable, respond to an emergency, and then realize that they cannot assist because they no longer have entry to their vehicle. besides the inconvenience this causes, it could indirectly or directly cause harm to a person. manufacturers need to be held to a higher standard, especially when this could be an obvious tactic to promote extra business and profit of ford sponsored companies. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FAFP31N35R.
