What owners wrote
My car was in a single vehicle accident as we hit a power pole head on going at least 50 MPH. I wasn't the driver. At impact both the driver and myself had our heads crash into the dashboard. The driver smashed his head into the steering wheel and I hit the area above the glove box. My head also hit the passenger door. The car caught on fire and burned completely to the ground. My concerns are that with an accident of that magnitude, not a single airbag deployed in the car.
Driver side front and rear door locks will not work with remote, with the key, or manually from the inside. Passenger side door locks work as they should. Anyone can gain entry to the vehicle at any time. A rear passenger, especially child, would be at great risk. This is not an uncommon issue with this and previous years of the focus. I was told over the phone by a ford technician that this is an electrical issue, but other complaints show necessary replacement of latch and lock assembly.
