Ford debuts all-new Focus; Comes with all the toys you'll ever want

[arisdp]

The casa told me they do the latest update. That was last month. They did it daw. Natanggal yung roll-back. Nabawasan ang jerking but only in terms of frequency.

Yesterday, I actually showed them a print-out of this 13-04-05 TSB. IDi ko alam kung ginawa nga nila. No imrovement since last update. for observation pa rin. Balik na naman siguro ako bukas. At the end of the TSB, it has an option that says: " replace the clutch, inner input shaft seal and outer input shaft case seal". My last resort

*ericc, may na-observe din po bang hesitation yung focus niyo? Improved after TSB, or nagpalit na ng clutch?

Yep, that and all other problems. No such luck after TSB. Improved when i drove it home after the 3rd TSB but all issues came back on day 1. Still for parts replacement.

*ericc, nagawa na po ba focus niyo? yung akin kasi, naka-order pa daw, may mga nauna daw sa pila.

Guys, meron ba dito nagpalit na ng trans (MK3)? nawala ba mga problema?

Wala pa rin. Antagal! The number of MK3 owners complaining about their new ride is increasing (see fordclubph.com). Ford had to put in all the "toys" to cover up for the faulty transmission.

Prospective buyers of the Focus: Stay away from this model!

Ouch. I sympathize with you. Buyers beware.

This is the lousy MK3.

*Ysabel17 - How's your ride? Okay naman? Hindi mo pa na-experience yung mga nababasa natin sa iba't ibang reviews? Such us, jerking, hesitation ng gear, pati yung kaka-ibang tunog sa gearbox or under the hood. I'm planning to buy the same unit as you had today eh, kaso lahat ng nabasa ko negative feedback.

Guys, please do enlighten me, lalo na yung mga owner na ng 1.6 Trend HB, i-pursue ko ba ang purchase ko? I really do love the new Focus, pero ayaw kong madagdagan ang problema at stress sa buhay. Thanks!

yung old focus ko (35k mileage) nagloloko ang tranny...

there are times lumalabas transmission error...

HINDI ko pinapansin... masira na kung masira... out of warranty na kasi...

sino pala gusto bumile? he.he.. sariwa pa...

Owned a Mk2. If you don't want stress or hassle all I can say to you is: don't do it 😀

I mean, kaya nga bumili ng auto for hassle free travelling around town. Hindi yung may mga topak na maririnig at ma-fefeel. Wag ko na ituloy?

The best thing really is for you to test drive the Focus Powershift and its competitors (Civic, Lancer, Corolla etc).
The latest Focus Mk3 models should already have an updated Powershift transmission software, but if you're still not satisfied at least you have other options to choose from.

The software updates were just a waste of time. You'll like the focus during the test drive. You'll buy it. You will feel the bumps eventually and they will tell you it's just breaking-in. Then more probs, and they will tell you that's normal. You will insist on an update. Another day wasted. Update done and you're told to observe. And so on and on. Prepare yourself for a regular visit to the casa; coffee is free anyway, so dun ka na lang bumawi, hehe

Nice!

Kadalasan ang problema sa driver nagsisimula. Hindi pinakikibagayan ang design mechanism ng kotse kaya nagluluko, yung iba naman super sensitive at konting abnormality punta agad sa casa. Pakalikot dito-pakalikot duon kaya lalong lumalaki ang problema.

For me, normal lang ang trato kumporme sa design ng kotse.

But for those who have defects, remember that all things manufactured have defects. Sorry na lang at natsambahan kayo. Dont worry may warranty naman yan.(smiley)

[arisdp]

Nabenta ko na ang hocus focus kahit palugi, kaya puede ko nang tawanan ang mga naka focus. bwahahaha!. Goodluck sa warranty

[joma199]

Intermittent loss of power, as in black out. Hard to start. Battery replaced but persists. Anyone experienced these on the 2013 focus?

Hi everyone! I would like to know when is the new FORD FOCUS ST 2.0L Hatch will be coming out in the Philippines? Thanks!

[Josh Angeles]

Hi! Do you know when is the new Ford Focus ST 2.0L Hatch will be coming out in the Philippines?! Thanks!

I seriously doubt that it's coming out. No market for hot hatches in the Philippines.
