What owners wrote

October 15 2015 I bought a ford focus 2015 s 4dr from the dealership. Right away had issues with it stalling and shorting out the computer and keeping a charge. However on january 4th 2018, I was sideswiped going 45 MPH and collided into a tree and a few other vehichles also. I sustained serious injuries due to none of my airbags deploying. The car was deemed a total loss and I still am paying on this vehicle.
