| This vehicle is part of the national fleet owned by the us postal service. the driver was trying to come to a complete stop at an intersection. the engine began revving as the driver was applying the brakes. the additional acceleration made it impossible to stop causing the focus to collide into the rear of the vehicle stopped ahead. the focus engaged the stopped vehicle once, pushed it ahead, then engaged it a second time. the vehicle was taken to a ford dealership where nothing was found to be wrong. this incident is consistent with past complaints filed with nhtsa for same model year ford focus vehicles. *tr | |||

| 2010 ford focus driver's front brake pad completely worn away prior to 18,000 miles, took in for warranty coverage and told if the calipur was bad it would be replaced per warranty. ford tech stated caliper was sticking but i was over the 18,000 mile timeframe for maintenance issues. i contacted several independant brake companies and was told that there was no reason for the brakes to fail at that mileage and age. ford wanted to charge almost $500 for repair. took to another independant brake service place and was told that the caliper is sticking, had to replace driver's front brake pad as it was worn metal to metal and did damage to the rotor. no warning that brakes were going bad until the pad was completely worn away at which time i contacted ford and took it in. ford refused to recogize it was a defect. | |||
