2005 Ford Focus Engine cooling Problems

“My car is covered under the ca emissions warranty, there is a hole in the manifold. The Ford dealer has had my car since may 2010 claiming they can't get the part covered under the warranty to fix my car. It has been 9 months and they keep postponing the date to receive the part.”

“I purchased my vehicle in early november 2004. As the weather began getting colder and damper, my vehicle would not start properly. The engine would stumble and crank, but would not turn over. I would have to try 3-4 times before the car would actually start. I took the vehicle in for service in december 2004 and TSB 04-23-4 was performed. The vehicle correctly started for a while after that, but is having the same problem again now.”

“Car rev's up when coming to a stop and also will keep repeating that for about 2-3 mins. So far I have almost drove thru 3 intersections and ran into multiple cars and when I take it to the dealers all they have to say is they cant find anything wrong”

“My engine light has been flashing intermittently since the day I drove the car home brand new! This is a misfire code. It usually happens when under hard acceleration (like trying to pass a car)...you can just imagine the safety concerns involved , when 7 out of 10 times I to try to pass a car.....I get halfway by the vehicle...then my car misfires ....loses all power....and I coast back into position behind the vehicle I tried to pass!..while I wait for the car to recover and start to run correctly again!....if I didn't lose my position!..which has happened!....my car has been repaired 4…”

“I bought this car brand new and it gets the worse gas mileage I have ever seen. I never get better than 25 mpg highway. I bought this car with the Ford dealer telling how great it was on gas. That I would average 32 mpg. I complained to my dealer when I bought it and they said I was averaging 31.7 mpg according to there computer. That is not true! Then they said it needs a break in time of 5000 miles. I have 15000 miles on the car and I drive on the highway every day. Many other Focus owners have complained but Ford ignores us.”
