I have been shopping for a used car on Facebook marketplace and there are a lot of Ford Focus posted for sale. I’ve mainly been avoiding clicking on them entirely because I know they are very known for transmission issues. But I’ve come to the point where I’ve been shopping for a car so long that I’ve been debating it. So my question is, is it worth the risk or should I keep steering clear of the Ford Focus?
I am on the market looking for a used car. Went to go look at a 2010 ford fusion today with my OBD2 scanner. When I connected it, it kept saying failure to find connection to the car. I test drove it to autozone to get it read with the person who owns the car. It felt completely fine when driving. No weird vibrations, jerkiness, lag or anything. It drove actually very well but the scanner at autozone got all these codes with no check engine light? Should I pass on the car? Does this look like it’s not worth the chance? It has 97,000 miles.
I got a P0449 code a while back(2017 Kia forte), got a new vent valve and changed it out. My check engine light came back on about 24 hours later. Same code. I’ve tested my purge valve and all seems good. I don’t have a multimeter so I haven’t been able to check the wiring to my vent valve but from visual inspection everything looks good and now I’m starting to have issues with starting my car sometimes with the issue progressively getting worse. What should I do now? What would be my next steps?
