What owners wrote
Left rear hub came off car on freeway, crossed over to other side, and killed another driver in the opposite direction, and he had his 12 year old daughter next to him. I guess this has happened with the 2001 ford focus, ford knew about it, but yet failed to fix the problem, resulting in this mans death. I feel they should be held criminaly responsible.
This is getting absolutely ridiculous! I am on my sixth set of tires!! They wear uneven after less than 20k miles making a more than annoying wobble. I have gotten numerous alignments and new sway arm links. Dealership said I needed new bearings another alignment and another set of tires! At this point I have spent over $6000 on repairs to this vehicle all related to the same issue!!! There's obviously something wrong that ford needs to fix!
