Introducing the 02 Ford Focus.

I own a 2002 Focus SE Wagon with 55k miles.
Here is what has gone wrong since I have owned it:
Replace power steering pump at 37k
Front springs rusted out at 50k. These were replaced by Ford at no
cost under a "Ford Program" not a recall, but I never received a
notice from Ford that this should be done.
Oil Pan rusted out after 55k.
Rear license plate light assemblies had to be replaced because water
leaked into them and corroded everything. Apparently there is no seal
of any kind on the piece in which they are installed and water just
runs down the rear hatch onto them.
And last but not least, the windsheild wiper fluid bottle leaks.

Also the doors are difficult to open and close.

Well, I have a 02 Focus sedan. I bought it used and now have 64,000
miles on it. I get 38 mpg and have had no problems with it
whatsoever.

I am so sorry for your trouble.
