Notice the miles on this POS car of my sisters and the warnings you get when you drive over 55mph on the road for longer than 20 mins...
Umm... Seriously

Interesting, that the transmission is reported to be overheating, but the engine coolant seems to be right where it should be. Is the trans fluid cooler tubes not cooled by coolant from the radiator in that vehicle?

Sky,
Our secretary had a 13 or 14 focus and was continually having trouble with transmission. Ford dealers worked on it all the time but said couldn't find anything. Was getting hot and shifting goofy. Especially from a stop and going into second. Don't know if it reaches into the 16 models but it was reported for the years from 12 on up a few years.

I'm too old to push a Ford, so I'll keep driving my Chevys.

My dad always told me Fords need to have heated tailgates installed on all trucks. Seriously though... I like the old 7.3 diesel trucks and would buy one if I had to buy a Ford. My husband and I have always owned mostly Chevrolet plus his outback he has now. I have had 3 suburbans in a row. I don't recommend the 6.5 diesel. Its a piece of %&$#@+ but I love my 2007 burban he bought me when the diesel transmission died. Someday I want a Duramax suburban. If I had that Ford of your sisters I would return it and buy a Subaru

Lots of Notre Dame football players got arrested last weekend. One tackled a cop outside a bar. The other 5 were smoking pot in a Ford Focus. Clearly a set-up. 5 football players in a Ford Focus. Impossible.

Ford is not very swift when it comes to cars. Ford had two really good cars and discontinued both of them, the Lincoln Town car and Crown Victoria - Grand Marquis.
