Unfortunately, Ford has elected to handle this issue in typical "domestic car" fashion, denying there is a problem (even though several Ford mechanics and at least one Ford Service Manager agree there is). I wrote a letter to Ford's CEO, only to get a reply from a lowly Ford Customer Service Rep telling me that Ford Motor Company "stands behind its original decision not to get involved in this matter."
For what it's worth, in 2003 I purchased a Toyota 4Runner that came with a faulty (leaky) sunroof that Toyota couldn't seem to repair. (The glass didn't seal right when closed.) I was prepared to “live with the problem; then, almost 2 years after the issue had first presented itself, I received a letter from Toyota asking me if my sunroof was still leaking, and if so, instructing me to take it to my nearest Toyota dealer for a newly discovered "fix." Toyota replaced my entire 2003 sunroof with their new 2005 version -- at no charge! -- and without me even having to ask! I still have that 4Runner after 10 years and my only expenses have been for gasoline, oil and tires! It is, hands-down, the best vehicle I've ever owned ... and, more importantly, the best ownership experience, as well. I'm now waiting for the next generation Rav4 Electric, at which time I plan to "dump" the Ford Focus -- and Ford! -- and switch back to a car and car company that stands behind its products and doesn't discredit its customer base to avoid having to do "the right thing."
I'm done with Ford, whose new slogan, in my opinion, should be changed from “Go Further” to “Go Figure.”
