Taas pitää korjata. Uutistoimisto Reutersin mukaan tämä on jo häpeällinen kymmenes kerta kun Focusta täytyy korjailla!
Ford Focus hit by new quality glitch
Reuters / November 20, 2003
DETROIT (Reuters) -- Ford Motor Co. said Thursday that it was urging owners of about 671,000 Focus compact sedans to bring the cars into dealerships for replacement of a component linked to chronic engine stalling problems.
The cars affected, from the 2000 and 2001 model years and sold in Canada and Mexico as well as the United States, already have been subject to an embarrassing total of 10 recalls by U.S. federal safety regulators.
But Ford spokesman Glenn Ray said the sputtering engines, which the company is blaming on the corrosive effect of dirt or sludge buildup in a fuel delivery module designed in Europe, was not something the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would officially record as a quality problem or recall.
"It's a product improvement program. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the quality of the fuel delivery module. It doesn't fail instantaneously or suddenly," Ray said.
"The root cause of the problem we've discovered in North America progressively over time is the variability and unpredictability of the gasoline-petrol standards in North America."
Ray said customers affected by the engine problem would get an extended 10-year vehicle warranty on the fuel replacement part, and he stressed that no similar problems had been reported with 2002 and 2003 models of the Focus.

tökkii pahasti Pietarin tehtaalla.Kannattaisi varmaan vaihtaa valmistusmaata.Miten olisi vaikka Afganistan.
Tehnyt 100v autoja ja 10 takaisinkutsua, sehän tekee 1 kutsu / 10v, eli tavallista vähemmän.
Mercedes-Benz 116-vuotta
Peugeot 115-vuotta
Renault 111-vuotta
Opel 109-vuotta
ja tuo takaisinkutsu oli FOCUKSEN kymmenes (ei Fordin, Fordilla varmaan jo 100)joten aika usein on sitä korjailtu!
Miksi kutsua Voortit korjaukseen???? Kun Voortimiehet mielellään korjaavat kaikki viat omalla kustannuksellaan, kun vaan meille kertoo että kaikki viat ja häiriöt ovat "tyyppiominaisuuksia".
Tai rahastaa heitä "helvetin kalliilla lisätakuulla", mikä laatu autoihin kuuluu jo ilmaiseksi vakiona???!!! 3 VUOTTA!!!!!
Mihinkään autoon ei saa ilmaiseksi takuuta kun se on lisätty jo valmiiksi osto hintaan. Onneksi näitä laatu merkkejä löytyy saksalaisilta eikä mistään riisupussi kulkuneuvoista joilla ei ole enään laadun kanssa mitään tekemistä ja joita joutuu koko ajan käyttämään korjaamolla, niin kuin tämä tuulipuku/demari kulkuneuvo.
"tuulipuku/demari" kulkuneuvo = toyota
Tarkistappas vielä hinnastosta mikä maksaa ja mitä?
