FORD FOCUS 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 11, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2008, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . drivers side, passenger door cannot be unlock by any means. this was discovered while a child was in a safety child-seat and could not be accessed through the door. the unlock buttons on the drivers door had no effect, the unlock buttons on the key bob had no effect and the manual lock/ unlock button can not be move from the lock position. the door remains locked until repairs can be made. a quick web search shows that their is no shortage of focus owners having experience this same safety issue. what if the car had been involved in an accident and the child had to be immediately removed? i feel that even allowing vehicles to be manufactured that does not have fool proof manual lock releases for each door is irresponsible and a grossly negligent threat to everyone each time they are in a vehicle. is it really that much of a stretch to imagine a vehicle involve in an accident and losing electrical power and none of the doors could be unlocked? so, my complaint is not that something broke or failed to work, but that its failure could unnecessarily cause such an eminent unnecessary threat to the safety of vehicle occupants. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP35N38W.

Ford Focus 2008 Suspension Review #10597473

FORD FOCUS 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 10, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2008, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . i have read many complaints about the 2008 ford focus and most compare to mine. the suspension on these vehicles are terrible. the car will vibrate, rumble and ruin tires. this problem has been happening since i purchased the car with only 6,000 miles on it. i have done multiple alignments, rotations and balances to try and fix the problem with no luck. i am on my second pair of tires and they are wearing down fast. there is also a "clunking" noise when backing out of my driveway that i assume is related to this problem. because there are so many others having the same trouble as me, it leads me to believe that this is a defect on the vehicle. if i continue to get the "run around" from ford motor company i will never purchase another vehicle from them again. i am very displeased with the lack of understanding and carelessness ford shares for their customers. ford needs to own up for their failure to create a reliable vehicle like the 2008 ford focus. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 6000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2010.FORD FOCUS 2008, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . randomly the back doors will not open. they will remain in the "locked" setting. they will not open from the outside or inside. unable to manually unlock/open either door. sometimes both do this simultaneously and other times it will be one or the other. i bought this car new and this started happening a few years later. it was seldom in the beginning but now it is almost always that one or both doors will not open. if i carried back seat passengers often this would be a major problem as this is a small car and very little room available to crawl in/out from front seat. this could easily turn into an emergency situation on a hot day and a large person locked inside unable to get out. a while back the front door handle also began sticking. the door unlocks but the handle doesn't always feel like it releases all the way to allow the door to open. then when it does open, sometimes the handle has to be manually pushed back into the door before the door will latch. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles.
