2009 Ford Focus wheels problems

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.

Had and accident after 6 months of paying on the car, which was sept. 2009.. Inside of tired bald, took to ford to have oil changed, and supposed look over, but was never told about the inside warn tires. Back doors will not open from inside or out, front driver side door will not open from the outside, have had to buy tires every six months, because car wears them out, constant repairs that never seem to fix the car handling issues.. Had far too many repairs for the last 8 years of having the car..

Air bag light is stuck on randomly makes a "dinging" sound. Tires continue to wear out at a rapid speed, ignition switch will get stuck an engine will not turn over-can't find a cause. And the A/C stopped working this week, mechanic looking for a leak unable to figure out these issues and why they all started with in past month. Each problem they can't find solutions or tell me it's probably a sensor or the heat. They hook it up to the computer and it shows nothing wrong?!?!

We purchased the vehicle in fall 2012 and noticed the original tires had delaminated and worn horribly in the front . We replaced all four tires with alignment with top of the line nokia which should have given us 70k wear. We got ready for a cross country trip from washington to florida. We discovered the tires needed replacing because of really uneven wear on the inside. We decided to replace them when we arrived in florida. We got them installed and had another four wheel alignment done. We are hoping they won't need another set for at least 60k miles. Reading these complaints I'm not so sure now. We spent $900 on the set of nokia hoping they would last. I'll be really upset if we only get 20000 miles out of this new se . Is this a vehicle problem??

I purchased this previously owned vehicle in late summer 2011. The mileage on the vehicle at the time was approximately 12,000. Within a couple days of my 2011 purchase the tire pressure sensor monitor failed and had to be replaced. On friday october 17, 2014 the tpsm had failed again and was replaced. The problem is this - it was the.....5th time... I've had a tpsm fail and replaced. My focus has only 32,000 miles on it.

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! I have seen tons of complaints on here involving the same issue, so this is obviously not related to my driving. A recall needs to be made and this needs to be addressed! I did not buy this car brand new off the lot for 26k to have to keep dumping money into it! The fact that ford will not own up to this being a horrible assembly/planning/product is appalling and I will never buy a ford product again!!

Wear and tear on wheels. Purchased the car brand new, 2 years after buying the car with only 21000 miles the original tires need to be replaced. Replaced tires and did a wheel alignment. 3 years later and only 23000 more miles and new tires again. Lug nuts were stripped and the tires were worn. The original tires were suppose to last 45,000 miles. The second set the same. Now the set I just purchased are goodyear with a 60000 mile tread. I also purchased a warranty. My car only has about 45000 miles on it and my original tires should have just recently been replaced not on my 3rd set.

This car was purchased in 2010 for our daughter for college. After 6 months had to replace the tires. The mechanic replacing them warned us that on this car we would need to rotate them every so many miles because of the way they ware out. Then at about a year started having trouble with the doors not wanting to open got to be the drivers door not opening at all. So had the ford dealership fix it was almost $600. Long story short we have had to replace tires 3 times now , and we have them rotated every 3000 miles. As for the doors the back doors will not open at all, have not fixed them . We have fixed the drivers door again and also the passenger door twice also. We purchased the car for the gas mileage. And yes all cars have their problems but not like this . She now has trouble the suspension, the ignition switch is going out and when the car was painted , the trunk was not primed so the paint is all peeling off. This is the most costly car we have ever bought. We will never by another ford again.

Two tires, with only 20,000 miles on them, have both worn down on the outside of the tire. The tires that we took off previous to these did the same thing. Car has been aligned and tires are rotated on a regular basis.

All of the hankook tires had tread separation. One was so bad that it separated all the way around the tire so that it was separated like a doughnut was on the surface. I always have the correct pressure but these tires were dangerous when they came apart. The tire repair person could not believe how bad they were. I kept the tires to show anyone about these hazards.
