That's really frustrated , have you get Ford to do a thoroughly check on all the electronic mechanism in the car? Ask for an one to one exchange by threatening Ford that you'll go to the local newspaper, lolx.

lowkl,

replied your pm at 1pm saying that i manage to start the engine this morning. 20minutes ago, same shit happen. Couldn't start !!

Called Puchong service center and they told me battery no stock. They will contact the manager and seek his advice.

I will follow your advice. Will definitely post it on Ford FB later

Keep you guys updated.

anyone want to buy my sport+ candy red with nice number plate...i can give discount...

Bro,
Thank God its only happen to me once, and I know your feeling bro. Some car nut call it "battery parasite" and it take month to rectify adn solve the problem, because have to check all the electronic part that refuse to sleep even the car is off and lock

Here some tips.
After you switch off the engine, all light at dashboard will always remain On for few minutes,
But if driver go out,, close door, the dashboard light will auto off, ALWAYS CHECK THIS, if light still On, lock your car, then this time all light should be Off, accept the PATS blinking red light and one orange light at dashboard with key icon on it.
If all light still on, open car, start engine, on headlamps, on radio, on aircon then take a spin, after that swith off light, off aircon, off radio, MAKE SURE YOUR RADIO LIGHT is OFF everytime you off your radio, the only light that On is the word SONY and radio power button.
Before you off the engine, double check there is no USB attached, and no charger at your cigarate lighter.
Then Off the engine, go out from car, close door, before you lock your car make sure all light at dashboard is auto off within few second, then only lock your car, if your dashboard light still on, then thats the culprit. And check your aircon light also, sometimes this light refuse to Auto Off. Snap a picture of the light and make sure with the blinking PATS light, to show that you already lock your car.

This is not happen to all focus but it only happen to unlucky one, the light at dashboard refuse to Off. In Malaysia its only happen to you and me I guess.

Same goes to the USB drive, my brother also owned a Focus, he never pull out his USB drive ever unless he need to add in new song, but I always pull my USB drive out, no harm because the car clever enough to go to your last song, unless the Indexing is still on going.
If you notice, sometimes, we Off our engine, lock our car, then we come back On engine, On radio, at display it show, Sync System Idexing Complete, thats mean the car still doing minor background job even the car is Off.

Now since Feb 2013, my car all fine, no big problem, except for small issue. My car is weekend car.
What I do everyday before go work with my bike, I will go my focus and have a peek and see is the PATS blinking red light is On or not, if not blinking, then I'm in big trouble. 

For owner that having problem with loud thud thud sound at front absorber when your hit hole or road bumper, go SC and ask technician to tighten the lower arm screw for absorber, under the absorber mounting. I dont know if you guys understand or not, if no, I'm sorry, reply me and I will explain again.

Now I'm waiting for my warranty claim for steering guk guk sound, Ford PJ said Ford Krabi is on top of this problem, and will probably issue out new comsumable part to be replace to eliminate the sound.

Hi All, im going to get my focus titanium plus next two weeks. Any recommendation for car tint? SA recommend Raytech, is this good? How about 3M or HO?

As a side-note, I do notice the engine vibration with the Focus during idling(vehicle at N) is getting a bit obvious. I can feel the intermittent engine vibration in the cabin when waiting at the traffic lights. During the next service I will highlight this and see if the vibration can be eliminated, completely.

Anybody managed to get this engine vibration eliminated at the service centre?

is the vibration intermittent in idle? (stop then start again, repeat)

Bro,

Thank you for sharing your experience here. Glad to say that both me and wife have flexible working hours and each time car failed to start luckily car is at home. Wife drive the car most of the time and she is heavily pregnant now. Had it happen at her office basement car park or somewhere middle of the road, I think I will rush there with a few journalist or maybe police officer due to safety reasons...

Anyway, next week I will give puchong service center last chance as they promise to replace with a new battery. If the battery failed again, obviously is something terribly wrong with the car. Even if Someone very well-versed with cars, I don't think we need to pay that much attention each time we switch off the car or lock the car. In fact both me and wife have a habit of switching off the air con every time before switch off engine. Until now never use the USB/cigarette lighter before..

Even if they manage to solve my problem, i will still complain in their fb page. I will ask my insurer to provide a summary of auto assist help being requested as a proof

After such experience, I think is hard to recommend this car to others especially female driver where realibility is the biggest concern in current environment...

Yes, the vibration is intermittent when the vehicle is idle, ie. vibrate for 1 second, no vibration for 2-3 seconds, vibrate for 1 second, no vibration for 2-3 seconds etc. Not really serious but I can feel it. This engine vibration gives the feeling or impression that the engine is going to shut down or something due to empty oil tank.

I'm going to send the vehicle to the service centre earlier than the scheduled 10,000km service as recently the driver's windscreen is producing a slight screeching sound when it's winding up and down. Will probably bring up this engine vibration issue and ask about the minor jerks and grinding sound.

Please do shares the outcomes, I also noticed a bit vibration on idle when just start my engine

May I ask if any owners here do not experience even the slightest rattling sound from the steering wheel when the vehicle is going over bad or rough surfaced roads? I want to determine if my vehicle is one of the few that exhibits this rattling sound in the steering wheel. I plan to bring it up to the service centre very soon to see if the rattling sound can be eliminated.

Thanks.

Depends on your budget - Raytech is well balanced but wouldn't be the best when it comes to heat rejection against 3M Crystalline - which probably has one of the best heat rejections yet. LLumar Diamond - has a solid security film and very good HR but with a similar price tag with 3M.

But most importantly, I have learnt, isn't the brands or the specs of the tint alone but the workmanship - believe me, if lint or hair gets trapped, you're gonna spend hours to get it corrected & having your door panels removed and installed (something you wouldn't like doing to your ride often).
