“My husband had returned from the store and pulled up into our slightly angled driveway, he was checking his receipt for an error and thought he had the car in park. He got out to carry some bags up to the porch and when he returned he noticed the car was still running. …”

Passenger door behind the driver locks itself at 10mph, stays locked, cannot be opened by handle even after car off, the door pull cannot be pulled up to unlock the door, my daughter has been using other door for years to get in and out because we cannot get that door unlocked. It will not unlock using key fob or from main door inside vehicle. The car has always been like this since we bought it new. …”
NHTSA complaint #10969973, filed 2017-04, 70 miles“Takata recall we have already had to replace one of the seat belts because it would not latch and also the pasenger door has issues with locking and unllocking. It works occassionally but not always. The 2012 Focus was reacalled for this issue and 2011 should be too.”
NHTSA complaint #10969218, filed 2017-03, 89,000 miles“Excessive tire wear. Went to rotate tires and found wear bands showing. Less than 19,000 miles on 60,000 mile tires. Original tires wore out fast, and thought it to be previous owner or cheap tires. Was able to replace on tire warranty, but failure was imminent was down to steel bands on inside of wheel. Per issues on internet forums, why is this being overlooked?? Do I have to fricken die before something is done?? At $110 a pop per tire at a minimum, the burden on drivers because this is overlooked is overwhelming. Is anything ever going to be done??”
