The driver airbag light keeps going off and on. I went to ford dealer shop to fix it. Only shortly after it came back on. I tried different tricks online and they dont last long. This is a common issue among ford focus owners. The connection plug from airbag to the steering wheel is bad and it just loses connection from time to time. Focus owners cant just DIY sensitive parts like airbag to temporarly fix it nor can we spend big bucks to visit dealersshop everytime. They charged me $140 just look at my car. And told me $700 for airbag replacement, when all that needs replacing is the faulty connecting plug. Ford knows this but is getting away with jeopordizing with customers lives for money. Please make this recall issue so ford will fix for all focus owners before people dies from this well known focus issue because the driverside airbag failes to deploy. Please.

Console transmission shift lever detents not noticeable in any positon including Park (mushy shifter) and I am unable to remove ignition key in any position, on, off or lock. Therefore the car can be easily stolen by anyone (minor or adult) by simply breaking the window, reaching the unlock and driving off. Shifter, steering column, and key removal malfunction.

Noticed small hole in front control arm while servicing brakes. Stamped sheet metal control arm rusted through and was failing. Very poor designe that was discontinued for apparent reasons the following model year.

I GOT MY VEHICLE FROM AN AUCTION SITE, SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY HISTORY ON IT BEFORE 2016. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AT REGULAR INTERVALS, ESPECIALLY, WHEN THE CAR IS IN EXTREMELY COLD OR HOT TEMPERATURES. THE GAS PEDAL, ALSO, GETS STUCK, REGULARLY, I WOULD HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MY PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING. I HAVE NOTICED THIS, OVER THE YEARS, WITH THE CAR IN STATIONARY MODE AND WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING BUT, ESPECIALLY, AFTER HAVING TO PERFORM A HARD BRAKE IN TRAFFIC. I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING ON THE GAS PETAL TO GET IT TO RELEASE ITSELF FROM WHATEVER IT IS ALLOWING GETTING STUCK TO, THEN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR IS BETTER, UNTIL THE NEXT TIME OF IT HAVING TO BE UNSTUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE BUT, THE MECHANICS DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM DESCRIBING. OF COURSE, WHEN THESE PERSONS TEST DRIVE MY CAR THEY DO NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM, LIKE I DO, SO THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION IN MY POSSESSION ON AN

ON AN ICY ROAD I BRAKED AND THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED SLOWING THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS MUCH FARTHER BEFORE BRAKING OCCURS DURING NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. IF I PUMP THE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES THE BRAKE PEDALS ENGAGES THE BRAKES LIKE IT USED TO. A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BUSINESS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MY EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED IN FORD RECALL 19S54. I ALSO WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0R46_UNYYK8 DESCRIBING WHY MY BRAKE PEDAL IS ACTING DIFFERENTLY AFTER THE ABS EVENT. MY FORD DEALER TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ACTIVE FOR MY VEHICLE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS.

LOVE MY FORD FOR THE MOST PART; HOWEVER, THERE SEEMS TO BE A MULTITUDE OF SENSOR PROBLEMS ... THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND HAS TO BE REST AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE "OPEN DOOR" LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE RUNNING. TRUNK OPENING BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE WINDOW CLOSING BUTTON ONLY WORKS PART TIME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE KNOBS FOR THE HEATING/AC NO LONGER WORK. THE AIR DIRECTIONAL BUTTON HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. RECENTLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS STILL WORKING. I PURCHASED MY 2007 FF IN 2011, PAID IT OFF IN 2016. IT NOW HAS OVER 235K MILES ON IT. WHILE ALL THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN A NUISANCE TO CONTEND WITH IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO OWN. I CURRENTLY AM WORKING ON GETTING THE GASKET CHANGED FOR A SECOND TIME, BUT THAT IS WORK MY SON TAKES CARE OF. I HAVE RELUCTANTLY BEGAN BEGAN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, AS THIS ONE IS FINALLY WEARING OUT.
