Ford Focus 2009 SteeringFord Focus 2009 Steering Review #10594969 FORD FOCUS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 28, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2009, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . after breaking my leg as a result of driving this vehicle with misaligned wheels on snowy/icy roads and thereby losing control (report filed), i have gone to a local mechanic who has allowed me to visually inspect other vehicles of the same year, make and model. what i have found has been verified by 4 different mechanics in 4 different repair facilities. the wheels on a 2009 ford focus physically can not be put into alignment. the adjuster arms are too short. what that means is that the wheels, which "toe in", fight against eachother for road control. this causes premature tire wear, and on ice and snow will cause a very rapid loss of control at any speed. the degree of that loss of control will vary depending on the amount of "toe in", but needless to say even a little loss of control on a slippery road is very dangerous. the fact that the adjuster arms are too short to provide true alignment indicates a design flaw. the fact that it can, and has, caused accidents indicates that it is a dangerous one. the fact that no one has been killed driving one of these death traps on a snowy road is nothing short of a miracle. please make ford do something before someone gets killed!! *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Ford Focus 2009 problem was reported in GRAND RAPIDS, MI.

my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
