My new (to me) 2016 Ford Focus 1L Ecoboost is missing this panel to the right of the steering wheel.
At the bottom, there’s a rectangular black box which flashes red.
Can anyone please tell me what this black box does and what the name of the panel is so I can order a replacement.
Thanks very much.
whilst driving its closer to 80-99? It never goes that low when driving?
Hi all, hope you are doing well. I got an error that my bank 1 o2 sensor is faulty. The agent price is ridiculous, I found this one on the internet, what do you guys think?
Ford recently issued a massive recall for over 255,000 Ford Focus vehicles (model years 2012–2018) that were previously repaired incorrectly under a prior safety campaign. [1, 2]
A malfunctioning canister purge valve can stick open, creating excessive vacuum pressure that deforms the fuel tank and causes the engine to stall unexpectedly. [1, 2]
Crucial Details:
Affected Vehicles: 255,404 U.S. vehicles, specifically 2012–2018 Focus sedans and hatchbacks.
The Fix: Dealerships will update the powertrain control module (PCM) software free of charge.
Reimbursement: Ford will reimburse owners who paid out of pocket for previous repairs related to this issue.
Identifiers: Ford’s recall number is 26S40 and the NHTSA campaign number is 26V369.
My niece's friend is selling a 2012 Ford Focus with 240K miles for $1,100, and says it has no issues. The friend comes from a family with extra cars, and said they just don't want/need it any more. My brother is going to drive it and look under the hood. He is semi ok with cars (can do an oil change, brakes, tires, etc) but isn't exactly a mechanic.
What do you think?
For more context, my niece is still in high school and working a $12 an hour job, averaging 20-28 hours a week. I mention that because if the engine goes out, she would be on her own paying for it. Parents help isn't an option.
More context, she lives with me. I work days, she works nights. So right now she uses my car to get to work and is free to use it for errands since I am mostly a hermit after work. She doesn't technically "need" a car right now.
Hello all. I’ve searched for the “no key detected” error but none of the answers match my particular situation. I bought a 2013 Focus used and it came with two keys, one with a built in fob with buttons and one that is just a regular key. The key with buttons works fine, always has. But recently I lost it and tried to use the spare, but the spare would not work and the car only said “no key detected”. Eventually I found my main key but I would like to know why the spare doesn’t work…? If this car requires some kind of electronic key then why did it come with a non-electronic one…? Pls help 🙏
Ladies, Gents….
I’m victim of the dreaded door seals sticking out as per photo above.
Any tips, tricks? Do I remove? Clue, Glue?
HELP! It’s the worst!!!
I have a 2013 ford focus zectec automatic with 103k. Had it for 5 months. Driven 13k miles as my job involves a lot of driving. The battery light comes on once or twice a month. Alternator and battery checked and all good. It goes away after I shake the terminals well. Of as at April started showing “temperature too hot. Park safely “ once I turn off the car and start it back it works fine. Temperature change doesn’t go up but fan continues did like 1-2 min after engine is off. What can be wrong with it?
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?
The centre console storage flap behind my gearstick is stuck half way up, I can’t find any sort of way to take it apart to see if something’s jamming it. Anyone know how I would get in there? 2009 mk2.5.
Hi all, im considering to get rid of my Ford Focus MK2 Wagon (2008) and start looking for a more recent model. The model I’m looking into is the 2023 (example: https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/ford-focus-wagon-1-0-ecoboost-hybrid-st-line-x-automaat-n-electric-gasoline-white-9daca65b-50b6-40c1-b457-6aa0bb17578e). How are the general experiences with this model? And, anything to look at when buying one?

When the car is running at high speed is fine but when is going 15-40 the rpm goes high like the car is not going into the right gear. What can cause this?
Just had this happen on my 2011 mk2 focus. Car driving as normal, lights working etc.
Fine to continue driving? Cant really afford the repair right now. Also, would something this minor fail an nct? Coming up in a few months
