guys,
i am doing a quick poll for all members of fordfiestast.co.uk website.
its as simple as this,is there any one out there who has not been back to
the dealers for a fault,any warranty issue,or even if you have had your
back under warranty just mention either yes or no and what the
problem was and if it was resolved or not,thanks guys.
iceman. p.s. and how many times you have been
back to dealer.

Yes, went back once. EAC fail light came on, dealer sorted it in a couple of hours.

Yes a few! Starting problem wait to my dealer about 10 times still not resolve and just gave up! Paint on my car went 2 and don't want to do it under warranty

Mine has been back twice, once for the bluetooth which failed but was resolved within about 3 hours and the second was to try and fix the starting/revving issue which wasn't really fixed but i never classed that as a major fault. I know that my next one will be straight into the dealers to have the auto lights flickering issue looked at. never know, they may have a fix over here in germany.

1. AUX in connection only playing on one side - Resolved
2. Broken Clutch slave cylinder - Resolved

Benji - the auto lights issue is apparently fixed by replacing the GEM module.
Same applies for the alarm going off issue people have had. Just make sure the new module is calibrated properly as it also controls powerfold mirrors and a couple of other things.

1. Door Respray (on collection)
2. Interior Passanger Sunviser falling off (on collection)
3. Driver Window Motor Stopped working - Think it froze been fine since
4. Stalling + Bad Engine Note - Resolved with Update
5. Electrics to rear light cluster - Resolved with new connection

Only minor things on my Focus. I still will say it's one of the most reliable cars on the road

All other things have been through use of the car and just ware away parts.

No!

Am I the only one!

Mine has.

It had the alarm module changed as it kept going off when I opened the car.

It also had to have the CD player replaced cos it ate one of my CD's :-(

It now has many squeaks and rattles and I'm thinking about getting those done I think?

No, everything ok here :-)

I've been back about say..... roughly 100 times!!!!

20 odd different faults..

1, driveshaft
2, wheel bearing o/s
3, wheel bearing n/s
4, Air bag warning light flashing (repeat repair 4 times then eventually they replaced the air bag
5, brake booster
6 brake booster again
7, Pas steering pipe
8, rattle from o/s window
9, squeak from the back
10 vibrating dash
.... loads more but can't be bothered to type them

I've given up on Ford and their dealerships.... but you never know people might read this and think twice about owning one, I won't be buying another one.

They have not helped me one bit. Tosssers!!

Been twice, although soon to go again......

Not starting up all the time (Apparently a "Characteristic of the car" b**locks)
Squeeking coming from the rear

Neither have been sorted, and there's a few other things need sorting!

I am not paying 11k for a car that has faults......

Nope.

But I will mention that my car has the PAS pipe noise, though it does not bother me and I've just learned to live with it.

nope my dealers have been realy good with me and i got my car before i was meant too so all good here...

Got to go back for the sunroof winder and the GEM module (alarm keeps going off when I unlock). No other probs at present
