I've just about had enough of my focus. First the Gauges stop working, then the battery starts to go. Then the front sway bar decides its had enough, now the son-of-a-biotch doesn't want to start. I think I'm gonna get full coverage on it then torch it (just kidding) Oh well, I spotted this little gem while cruising Bangor today:

Might get my focus going then trade it in on this.

someone wanna delete one of these post please. Thanks

Sounds like your baterry and or charging system took a crap, try charging the battery then get the charging system checked out.

yeah i tried jumping it and no-go

9000 for that thing? dont do it.

yeah, considering the fact that you can get a new one for about 12,000 with rebates.

They are giving 10,000 for mine, and it's 2006 (11,000 miles).

well, everyone is going to get a good laugh about this one........ I found out why my car wouldn't start. I was out of gas. I put a few gallons in and it fired right up. With the gas gauge not working I didn't realize it was dry. Disaster averted.

OMG...I would delete this thread in fear of total humiliation.....[rofl]

I meant 30k as in DOLLARS ;-)

9000 is still way too much for that other focus though....keep yours

yeah I'd only pay 9k if it was boosted and had forged internals

Just so you know. You aren't the first. I ran a bike shop for years, and we "repaired " that at least twice a year. Glad its fixxed.
