Ford Focus need I say more?

I drive a 2001 Ford Focus SE wagon and it only has 12,500 miles on it.

I live in Maryland so the lemon law is a joke here. Anyone familiar with it knows it is only 15 months or 15,000 miles.

I have owned my Focus for 17 months so there goes that reassurance.

Moving along, it has come to my attention that Ford Focuses have poor quality, if not faulty brakes. I have myself been into the repair shop on five occasions for the brakes.

I am very logical and not entirely stupid so I know this is NOT right.

Ford replaced, yes replaced my pads at 9,500 miles with not so much as a blink. There was heavy squeaking and a grinding noise coming from my rear axle and brakes.

Turns out there was a recall on the rear bearings but there are on-going service reports regarding the brakes.

So far I have no luck or sympathy from the Ford service folks or the two dealerships I have visited for "service".

I was told so many non-truths, e.G. "as your car sits while you are say getting your groceries, a film develops over the pads and this causes the squeaking", "moisture and humidity cause the squeaking" (we were/are in a drought when this was said - no dew, no humidity of consiquensce, certainly no rain), and so many more but my personal favorite "it's normal"!

Currently, there is a class action law suit regarding this under way and I encourage every Focus owner reading this to add your name. Simply go to

And you will find a link with complete details.

As for the wiper motor, like I said above we have been in a serious drought as much of our nation has and I have used my wippers quite infrequently. My motor died for no explained reason - none. This was another problem I found other Focus owners we having.

Please be wary of this vehicle. I do not intend to nickle and dime every issue I have had for they are vast, but please be wary!
