Key would not turn in the ignition
Takata recall i am having problems with all door and trunk latches. the left rear door will not open at all. the right rear door will only open sometimes from the inside but it is a struggle. this is also the case with passenger front door and driver door. recently (4 days ago) the driver door started not opening. trunk will sometimes open with key and will not shut all the way.
The key wouldn't turn in the ignition. i had to be towed.
I was pulled over on my way home from work almost midnight, and was notified by the officer that i had no taillights, but my turn signals and hazard lights were working. the license plate light and running lights are not working either. in addition, several months ago the dashboard lights blew a fuse, and have repeatedly blown the same fuse. i saw that the wires on top of the hatchback, inside the rubber tube, are cracked and broken. i saw online that this is a recurring problem. there could have been an accident, as i work second shift and always drive in the dark. i don't know how long the lights have been out. *tr
The gas pedal got stuck and we were in a car accident. *tt
I have a ford focus 2001 and the key got stuck in the ignition. i wasn't able to put the key in or remove it. i took my car to the ford dealership and had to pay 350.00 to get it fixed. *tr
Driving to work 4 am- hear a click; engine goes dead; roll to side of road; get out of car and see smoke and fire coming out of the bottom of engine. within 4 minutes care is in flames... totally burn by time the fire department got to site all that was left was the rear end// no injuries luckily i was able to get out of the car. *tr
Ignition failure. *tr
Brakes failed which caused crash. the very day back brakes were fixed, the front brakes then went out within a month, resulting in almost another accident. even though ford recalled this back in 2000, (bought car in 2005) they are refusing to fix it. there have been 14 total recalls, all seem to be wrong with my car too. i should have done my homework prior to buying but why was anyone even able to sell this to me considering all the recalls?*cn
Problems with inserting and/or removing the key from the ignition key slot. i was unable to reinsert the key to start the ignition until i used powder graphite and tapped the key in place. once the key was in, it became very difficult to remove. i've ended up leaving the key in the key slot and using a second key fob to lock and unlock the doors.
There is a leak in the resevoir for the radiator, electrical problem with the radio. the radio keeps losing power when going down the road. the master switch for the passenger window does not work, the rear passenger window assembly is broke leaving the window not able to stay up. there is a funny noise when driving down the road. it sounds like a crackly noise. half of the time the heat will not work. *jb

Hi, on saturday evening (june 18, 2005) i drove my 2000 ford focus zts to edgerton confort inn in wisconsin with my wife and 6 months old child without any problems. on father's day morning (june 19, 2005) ready to enjoy breakfast with family and friends i was not able to turn on the car. the ignition key would only go in half-way and wouldn't do anything plus steering wheel was locked as well, eventhouth i didn't lock it the night before. i spent about an hour with friends trying different approaches to release the steering wheel without success. the closest town i could find a ford service center was in janesville, wi and on a sunday (father's day) i couldn't resolve much. i had to spent another extra night in the hotel to be able to resolve the next day. not a fun thing when you have a young child with you and not able to do much without a car. on monday, june 20, 2005, i got in contact with gordie boucher ford service center to arrange towing ...
Ignition lock, nothing lead up to the failure its an engineering problem with the care. my brother a locksmith has dealt with this problem half a dozen times in the last year with ford focus. couldn't start car had to have it towed and the entire ignition cylinder had to be replaced, costing a lot of money because it requires that all the keys be recoded and all door locks as well.
