I just reread the article. Apparently the fix for the rattling noise is from the front suspension and not the steering wheel. IN my case, the rattling sound is from the steering wheel. Hence, this fix is not applicable in my case. Having said that I will raise this issue to the service centre and see if they have any fix for it the next time I send my vehicle in to them.

Had my Focus Titanium+ (mfc. June 2013 reg. July 2013 @ 14000km) not started since Tuesday evening to Saturday evening (4 days) but had no problems or difficulties starting it.

Also, I had checked the battery at the SC after hearing over these issues with a few of the owners (now urself) but the charge was good. Also, have a bluetooth OBD2 scanner to monitor the pre-crank, crank and post-crank charging voltage & I have something like this; pre (11.7), crank (~10.9), post (12.6 when idling, 13.4 when cruising).

From the research done, a defective battery can't retain the charge, so the crank voltage may even dip below 10/9v & pre-crank may be in it's 10s.

2 possibilities you may look into; current being drawn when no in use - electronics including screen are shut off in 20 mins from ignition off, if doors are unlocked. If doors are locked, it happens nearly immediately. Second possibility is a faulty battery that could have been kept too long in storage (under sun) before transported to Malaysia.

My advice, I'm not sure about the SC you're going to but I can advice you to try SDAC, PJ & speak to the branch manager there - well spoken and if he is informed beforehand, your issue would most likely be addressed in the best possible way. You may try the same with the other SCs instead of raising your issues to the foremans or mechanics first.

I really hope the culprit is the faulty battery. like i say earlier, once i got the new battery from puchong sc and problem persists then i have to no choice but to send car to PJ

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.

Rattling sound low speed when cornering. Vibrates when brake n full stop at traffic. Next week sending again! *sigh*

Thanks for the information which is certainly useful. Exactly the same thing that I am experiencing with my car. The rattling sound comes from the steering wheel at low speeds when cornering, but only when the road is bad(rough surfaces). On good roads, there is no rattling sound. In your case, is the rattling sound at low speed when cornering on good or bad roads?

Engine vibration when the car is idling(brake and Neutral gear at traffic lights), I can also feel it, but it is not so serious yet. I will definitely bring this up to the service centre when it's due for the 10,000km service. Still a long way to go.

Guys,

I have been looking at the Sport+ for some time.
Went to the one of the Capital Intertrade showroom at PJ thought of test driving the car.
However, the SA only allowed me to test drive the Titanium(sedan) version.
Told me that all showrooms do not have a Sport(hatchback) version for test drive.
Is that true?

what kind of sound? I also got the noise of changing gear at low speed, just like my friend's fiesta, mine a bit worst when going up hill, and I staying up hill, so have to bear the noise every time going back home.

An alternative is to turn on your music player, that's why they're giving such a good sound systems for, lol.

Hi I just got my ford focus titanium sedan. Proud to be one of the Focus owner now.

My SA told me that Suminano Window Film Product for S40 and S50 are the same as Raytech CS? Is it true?

The warranty card given to me got serious doubt on his sincere. Any expert of this area may give shed some enlightenment?

Cheers!
