2012 FORD FOCUS — Complaint #1103489

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS filed August 28, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1103489 (ODI reference 10629122) concerns a 2012 FORD FOCUS and was filed on August 28, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 20, 2013. The vehicle had 41,115 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:power window devices and controls, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD FOCUS cohort independently describe similar visibility:power window devices and controls failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2012 FORD FOCUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
