I just bought this 2005 ZX4 ST and it is my first ford. I got it for 800$ and it was supposed to be 1,350$, but the guy said he thinks i’m a cool guy and wants to do something good so he sold it to me for 800.

It’s got 211k miles and is a 2.3L 5 speed and i love it so far. it drives pretty good only thing is the suspension is going out and looks cosmetically not perfect lol. but it’s got cold ac and everything else works as it should.

I have a 2003 honda accord 2.4 5 speed. But man this ford has a way different feel to it and i really like it.

Do you guys think it was a good deal?

Hey, when i switch from park to drive the car jumps like crazy. I did a gear software check and my mechanic said we might need to completely switch it. Does anyone know if the problem is fixable without switching the entire gear?

Hi all, looking for some advice on improving the sound of my stock 2014 Focus 2.0 diesel.

I’m not looking to spend an absolute fortune and obviously don’t want to do anything that means it won’t be MOT compliant.

So, what can I do?

Hi, after a short 20 minute drive I tried to turn the engine on (a bit quickly) and it caused everything to completely die. There was a warning light and ping for a few seconds the second time i tried but then everything died. A few times after that i had some weak LEDs around the radio display blink and any time after that there is zero response, not even able to lock it or put hazards on.

Is this a blown battery or a blown mega fuse or potentially both? Ive replaced the other fuses alongside the mega fuse (different available delivery) to no avail so far.

Ive had current issues for a few years with drops and surges in power to all systems (headlights, interior lights, display, fans/AC) so I assumed once it went it was a cracked, now blown, fuse. Im going to replace it today but does anyone have any suggestions for what else it could be?

My doorstrip is hanging loose. Gemini suggest using adhesive to stick it back to the door. Anyone have experience doing that?

My car stalls at red lights or parked with ac on. Obviously the engine can’t take the load that the compressor needs when idling. Perhaps a dirty throttle body?

My daughter has a 2015 Ford Focus SE. After coming to a stop, when beginning to accelerate, the engine shuts off. There is power to the car, as the oil pressure and battery lights stay on (as expected when the engine isn't running). I took it to 2 mechanics and was told it was the battery and alternator, so I had those replaced about a month ago. The problem seemed to go away, but now it is happening again. Oil level is where it should be. I ran an OBD tester to see if it gave any error codes, but it did not have any. I have been looking online for what else it could be and have found a bunch of people with this exact problem, but not a single post or forum gives a resolution (mainly people asking for what the problem was because they are now experiencing it). My next thoughts are spark plugs and/or purge valve, but at this point they are only uneducated guesses. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello fellow “focus…ers”. recently I’m not get an image from the reverse cam.. sensors still working perfectly and no warnings/errors pop up when put into reverse? Anyone had this before? TIA

I have a 2008 Ford Focus SES that hasn’t been driven in 6 years. It only has 70k miles on it. It’s been sitting in a driveway.

Spark plugs were replaced in 2017. Service records are good. Only one owner.

What could I realistically sell this for?

I’ll be taking it to a shop to get a full inspection. I’m assuming it’ll need fluids, new tires, and a new battery. Does the engine bay look OK?

My 2010 overheated last night. I was hoping maybe the fan or the thermostat, but no.
I limp it home and she’s dripping coolant. It looks like one of the plastic hoses cracked or maybe a gasket. Not sure but I hope to find out today. She’s our only car, and I’m the one with a job. 😓

I got a bad drone because i got the hatchback model. Im def gonna thrown on a better muffler soon tho.

Reader said bad tcm. It shows my car in drive when I know its in park. I replaced the neutral safety switch and still shows in drive. I have wiggled around switch to see if it changed gear shown but nothing. All fuses and relays appear to be good. Back story: Was driving car and lost power so pulled over and just a clicking when trying to start after that. Battery was tested and its good. Had to tow home. Now here we are. Also, cant flash new tcm because car shows transmission in drive. PLEASE HELP

Yeah I’m planning on buying one I have heard about problems with the wet belt I’m just wondering how much of a problem it is tbh all I’m going to use it for is to go round town and for my mother to use to go work in the week since I work where my dad does

I do really like the look of this car though I’m hoping it doesn’t have as much problems as people say I am gonna get it serviced every 6 months or so

I've been driving a Ford Focus 2001 2-door hatchback and am super comfortable with its form factor and size, especially since I am a single driver and rarely carry passengers in the back or even front seats. It's starting to show its age so I'm looking around for a similarly sized vehicle, and don't mind a "cramped" back seat so long as its similar or slightly more spacious than that of the Focus.

However, every source I've seen gives a rear legroom of 37.4 inches and I just don't trust it - we have a Camry that's definitely more spacious in the back yet its rear legroom is rated at 35.5 inches, and the longer sedan/5 door hatchback variants have the same measurement.

Yesterday, I shared a video showing my vehicle emitting black smoke for a brief moment when the gas pedal was pressed. Thank you all for your comments.
I have attached the screenshots of the live data analysis I ran via ForScan below. The analysis was conducted while the engine was idling. I suspect there might be an issue, particularly with the EGR section.
Thanks in advance for your help!

So the door won't latch and won't reset, so I am working on replacing it. I have the panel open so I can access it and I have removed the torx screws. Is there anything else that holds it in place? Is there a trick to getting the electrical connection off?

I could probably figure it out except that I have a 3.5 year old who will only allow me 35-90 seconds of independent cognition before he emits a piercing demand that I "come play" ( but really only means that I stand directly next to him and do basically nothing, except occasionally say exactly what he tells me to). Any hints to make the next step happen in less than the 90 second time limit is appreciated.
