2002 Ford Focus Other or unknown Problems

“All four studs on the right front broke off and caused damage to the brakes, front bumper, along with a few other things. The dealer said it was my fault because I had a mechanic besides them change the brakes on it. I had my 2 month baby niece in the back along with 3 other people. The other problem I have is the seal on the windshield is coming out near the roof.”

“Was driving my car when passenger side window shattered and covered my passenger with glass.window was in halfway between up and down position. No evidence of anything thrown at window and passenger was not messing with window in any way. No injury to this passenger. Almost caused an accident. Window was repaired and replaced at my expense and a month later it happened a second time in a drive-thru. My window shattered again when the passenger went to roll up the window with the automatic switch and it covered him in glass and his hand was cut.”

“I bought this car brand new in september. The first problem the car had was that the pollen filter became blocked and it had been raining out so all the water from outside came right into my car and I got about an inch of water in the passenger side of my car all over the floor. The enxt thing that happened was my driver side front tire blew while driving down a road, there were no potholes and no curbs that I could have hit for this to happen. …”

“After 2 complaints to dealer about rear brake vibration/noise, they found noting wrong. On our trip going down interstate 40 at 70 MPH the back wheel comes off my car. The wheel and hub are broken,cuts the brake line and I lose my brake fluid. No brakes and trying to keep it out of the ditch. If there would of been a car on the side of me. I am positive there would have been injury/death. Had extended warranty. Ford paid 0. Said I hit something in road. Now at the repair shop again. The wheel bearings on the rear are frozen . I have to buy new drums for both side again.”

I used the atm and upon returning to the car, my key refused to turn in the ignition cylinder. It was as if all of the sudden my key was the wrong key for the vehicle. Since I was not in a parking spot, I put on my hazard lights and ran a half mile to my home to retreive my spare key. Upon returning, I found that it did not work either.
