2012 Ford Focus Problems - Exterior

My friends were complaining that the front passenger door was hard to open. When I took a closer look I noticed that the entire top of the door seemed to be indented - which was causing the front rubber seal to get stuck behing the back rubber seal. This is basically problem #7 I've had with this car since buying it 3 weeks ago. If Ford takes it back like I've asked I'll take the videos down.

Yea I went with Hyundai and it was crap couldn't get out of its own way!!

And when your done paying it off it's worth 50.00

@metalmachine467 Hyundai gauruntees the trade in price now - with returns as high as Toyota or Honda. They do have whiny engines but my 2 friends that that have Hyundais swear by them which is more than I can say about the Ford Focus. Either way I'll be stuck with my new white 2012 Focus for a couple years now.

Haha, buying a Lexus wasn't the solution, just thought it was funny with all those problems... U still like ford or u wish never bought it?

[notreallyhere1022]

@Involvement82 I don't like them like I used to. If I could do it all over again with the same budget I should have went with the 2011 Hyundai Elantra

dude stop whining about your ford vehicle lol.. it's a ford, what u expect? A lexus.. you pay cheap, then u must drive cheap, enjoy your car big nose :)

[notreallyhere1022]

@Involvement82 that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. To tell someone who bought a Ford Focus to buy a Lexus instead. Obviously I didn't have the money - and even if I did I wouldn't want to look like a pretentious prick like you by driving one. The dealership has already replaced my car. The one in this video was a lemon - the new one doesn't have any of these problems.

again, ford is just like every other US automakers, has very bad quality cotrol, instead of spending the money on quality check, they rather pay off the auto magazines and so called consumers guides....one example is consumer guide, they rate 2012 ford focus has the same acceration rating as a hyundai sonata 2.0t which has more than 100 hp over the focus....what a joke...

@TimMcC777 its called shut the fuck up and dont come to this fucking vid if you dont want to hear problems

[bierrum105]

I must be lucky or something because I havent had a problem with mine. I bought mine in October. The only thing I can figure is because its a new body style that the kinks need to be worked out.

@notreallyhere1022 Hyundai Mid size sedan of the yr in2011was Sonata.I rented that car&drove it too.Great car&in my opinion Hyundai vehicles look the best inside&outside.Kia look great also but the inside looks outdated&cheap.

The brand new 2013 Ford Fusion looks great inside&outside.Do U know any1that said they had the same problems in the 2012 Fusion???

[justthebestgolfer]

@notreallyhere1022 WOW ur the 3rd Youtube talking about his brand new2012Focus having problems with the engine, exterior, interior & of course the shitty MyFord technology is still the same(slow&crashes).Thxs4the video I really appreciate it,cause I would have bought a Focus(Hatchback)cause of the car reviews.But after seeing this&other videos Im glad I bought a2012Hyundai Elantra LIMITED model.Dont have1bad thing2say about it.Compact Car of the yr in2011&2012.

is it just me, or do lots of gay men like the focus? i am gay myself and have been obsessing over getting a ford focus myself. too bad about the reliability, though. will wait and see.

[nismofury]

Wanna know how good a car company is...look at their warranty. Hyundai Kia 10yr 100,000 mile warranty. Korean car companies are becoming high quality. Enough said.

sounds like a lemon

[fcunderwood]

The reason you having this problem is when you rolled up on the Ford lot you had "sucker" written all over you, but dont feel bad because I own a 94 Ford Taurus so It seemed I arrived a Ford lot and got "suckered" too...

[ghrpdx]

It seems to me that all these fitment problems were probably there when you bought the car. Did you thoroughly inspect the vehicle before you bought it?
