LEMONVILLE - 2000 Ford Focus
By UNFOCUSED - October 9 - 11:26 pmNOTHING BUT RECALLS AND ON SOME PARTS, THE SAME RECALL THREE TIMES. DEALERSHIP LEASE MANAGER TOTALLY UNREASONABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY TWO INDEPENDANT MECHANICS THAT SAID THE CAR WAS UNSAFE.AND! THAT IT WAS A LEMON. I PAID TO GET OUT OF A LEASED VEHICLE THAT WAS A MISTAKE FROM ITS FIRST DAY ON THE CONVEYOR.SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS LATER I LEARNED A HARD LESSON. :(

What Happend when I CRASHED my Focus - 2000 Ford Focus
By Fiorucci88 - October 25 - 2:00 amI was just recently in an accident with my Focus and it DID NOT hold up very well at all. This was a low speed accident, and my car wound up being TOTALED. The other car had very slight damage on it, and mine folded like a $2 bill. Thank God no one was hurt, but at the point of impact I was only traveling at about 20mph and my car has been totaled. Who knows what could happen in a high speed accident. Its not worth the risk.

Car is worth nothing - 2000 Ford Focus
By Car is garbage - August 1 - 2:00 amIn and out of the dealer thats where my car has spent more time rather than on the road. For the past 2 years I have run into problem after problem. Breaks making noises, gas pedal getting stuck, you name it! My car has had repairs for it. I will never even think of purchasing a Ford again!

Never Again! - 2000 Ford Focus
By mimibeth - April 20 - 5:53 pmI will never again purchas a Ford vehicle. At 19 years old, the Ford Focus was the first vehicle that was truly 100% mine. Within the first week I received a notice in the mail regarding a fuel hose being recalled. It has all been downhill since then. I keep up to date with routine maintenance but in the past two years alone, I have had to replace the ignition, fuses, vents, seat adjustment handles, radiator, various parts of the transmission..the list goes on and on. Every time I brought it into the shop I was urged to get rid of my Focus. Thousands of dollars later, Im finally listening! As soon as I trade this puppy in, Im washing my hands not only of the Focus but of Ford entirely.

Extreamly Disappointed - 2000 Ford Focus
By zedinteractive.com - February 17 - 10:00 amI bought this car for all the great things that I read about it - it seems what I read vs. what is real are two different things. The Focus is the worst car I ever bought. From the trunk leaking (and soaking all that was in the truck) to the air conditioning that smells, I do not feel safe in this car. The endless recalls and now 6 investigations, Ford should be ashamed that this car was ever put on the road.

The Expensive Economy Car - 2000 Ford Focus
By Jennifer L. - May 19 - 2:00 amThis car has a lot of interior space for a compact car, and leg and head room are a feat of engineering genius. I have no complaints about the simple, ergonomic and functional accessories. Fantastic handling and manouverability, a tough little exterior, and great fuel economy. Problem is $500 rotors that cant be turned and need replacing every 10k miles. The brakes never make a sound so you cant tell when the pads are worn. Why build an economy car with BMW rotors? Remember when Ford used MacPherson Struts on the 1980 Ford Fairmont? The logic of this escapes me. Also if you have a chance, look at the FordFocusBrakeProblems.com site.

FOCUS on problems - 2000 Ford Focus
By va1234 - May 12 - 8:59 pmI have had my Focus for 2 yrs now and I have actually driven it for 1.5 yrs because the rest of the time it was in the shop. The warranty company has put $5200 in repairs for the engine and suspension. The only thing that I like is the sound system, interior, and the exterior styling is ok. I have had alternator problems, starting problems (6 times for that one), cooling system, suspension, gaskets, and new steering column (1st week owned). The transmission is quirky and the vehicle has no power. THIS CAR WOULD RUN BETTER FLYING OFF A BRIDGE!!!
