Anyone here facing power window problem.

My passenger side power window goes up and down inch by inch. Sometime doesn't work.

SC PJ2 said is faulty regulator. Costs RM1000++ to change.

Got cheaper option? OEM?

Yea...
I did a test drive couple of weeks ago, overall, the new Focus 1.6 EcoBoost is still considerable a better choice if I did not own my current Focus Sport+ from my point of view.
What differences from MK3 and MK3.5 as following

Features
Current > New > My though
- Bi-Xenon HID with Headlamps with Jet Washer > Halogen Headlamps > Missing Jet washer, which is I consider useless in Malaysia, and it is actually better without it. But Halogen… I know everyone felt.

- Sunroof > missing > It is a disappointing decision by Ford, giving that Malaysia hot weather, with the sunroof, hot air can be release faster than just open all windows, plus, while travelling, with sunroof open also can eliminate the disturbing flipping wind noises without open 2nd windows causing a mess and dusty in the car.

- 1 x 12v Powerpoint > 2 x 12v Powerpoint > this is much more welcome, I already wanted on my car by getting 2nd 12v Powerpoint after warranty.

- Bigger front armrest stowage bin > a lot smaller with sliding armrest > New focus armrest stowage almost can’t store anything. But at least it come with a sliding armrest

- Active City Stop > Enhance Active City Stop > New Focus have a much more real life practical Active City Stop although I have about 2 occasion that current 1 safe me from hitting someone back.

- Ford Sync 4.2” > Ford Sync 2 8” > Well, from what I read from the forums all over the world, it seems that Sync 2 have it owns trouble (software lag, hang etc), we know Australia is going to give Sync 3 QNX  or CarPlay (by RIM, same company as BlackBerry) why not here and just skipped the Sync 2. Anyway, at least Sync 2 having better looks, highly possible Waze integration and touch screen.

- Manual Child proof real door > remote powered child proof real door > this is great… absolutely convenient on new focus.

- No BLIS on Sport + > BLIS on Sport + > Another great feature in new Focus, the wide angle side minor is not really wide enough.

Now, let talk about driving experience;

Twin-Clutch vs Traditional auto transmission, technically, twin-clutch should have a smoother and faster transmission changed, however, probably blame to the firmware, or twin-clutch not behaving as how it should, I feel that the traditional in this 1.5 ecoboost have a better and smoother transmission changed. It respond better than how I desire the car behave in torque, and I feel I am controlling the torque rather than like my current MK3. While engaging S mode, the paddle shift respond faster than the gear-shift (or whatever it is named) while I paddle down, it feel like immediately applying lower gear on MK3.5 while I feel it take longer in MK3 (maybe 0.5~1sec). 

While I do not know how I can explain it, but I feel more comfortable and confident doing a fast corner on MK3.5 than MK3, it feel…. gripped and steady unlike MK3. Run over uneven road also feel more comfortable and less dumpy than MK3. Noise isolation also better. And less noise from the wheel too.

Although this MK3.5 selling at approximate RM145, it is still consider the cheapest turbocharge car in Malaysia market and most value for money you can buy for C segment. It may have a better resell value compare to MK3. However, I won’t exchange my MK3 for MK3.5 with additional a whooping additional RM40K top-up. What’s more… it’s feel different with missing sunroof and Bi-Xenon, just ain’t cool anymore. beside, I already installed with Accent Lights DRL, that is enough for me.

1 last thing, why the heck is Ford still supply Michelin Primacy LC????? And come-on, where the rear camera. No Powered driver seat on Sport +… damn cheap

Edit: Oh, 1 more thing I dislike about MK3.5, the center lock is locate at driver side door not at center... what the heck...

mine MKIII, year: 2012, warranty just over, mileage <35000km
so sad this happened to me.....

Hi all focus mk3 owners, if your car has this kind of power window failure issue, please claim it within 3 years warranty for free replacement on faulty regulator. Otherwise, you need to pay around RM1200 at ford sc. both my and my friend's focus mk3 encounter this issue near the end of 3 year warranty.

Please take note the five year warranty only cover free replacement of power window motor, but not the regulator.

use ur car features & functions occasionally like windows & sunroof, spotlight, etc etc

Top spec focus is 140k though
The next one will be new model. Current is face-lift

They have good engine now and what they need is a good designer

Good, SDAC is coming to their senses.

I asked my SA in Penang. 4 years ago bought from her. The big discount applicable to 2015 car (Focus) but somehow all depleted. but seriously I hardly seen any mk3.5 in Penang. Even new Civic can be seen.

Your problem might be caused by Tranmission Control Module (TCM) electrical circuit failure as explained by Ford. Have u received a letter from Ford to update your software? It's called Software Update Program 15B22 & asked to update the software at the service centre. I just received mine but yet to update the software. A few weeks back, I experienced loss of power whereby i can't drive exceeding 130km/h despite flooring the throttle. Once i stopped & restart the engine, it went back to normal. Hopefully the update would rectify this.

Hi, anybody received this recall to change drive shaft ? I just received few days ago.

Ford Focus recalled over drive shaft fault

I bought mine in Oct 2013 but mileage is approx 45k km only. Based on the letter, the warranty of our Focus TCM is extended to 10 years or 240k km (whichever comes first) inclusive of parts & labour

An update. Did my last 60,000 km service yesterday though actual mileage of the car is just 39,000 km.

Time after time, the experiences I have had with Ford Sime Darby just reinforced my impressions on the poor after-sales service of Ford. This was echoed by two unhappy chaps at the service centre yesterday when they brought their cars for servicing. Somehow, every time I visit the service centre I will mostly see either someone arguing with the service agent, or someone is unhappy.

Anyway to cut a story short, some might have known about my story which happened couple of months back whereby the guys at the service centre left some deep scratches on the plastic piece at the front passenger side of my car. That was about 5 months ago and after the issue dragged on for so long, the part was ordered and in stock since last month and it was to be installed on my car yesterday. However, just when they wanted to install it on my car, they figured out that they ordered the wrong part and informed I have to wait for another month for the part to arrive. Instead of ordering the part for the passenger seat, they ordered the part for the driver's seat instead.

And the most amusing thing is this. Guess what? The service manager informed the part will arrive next Tuesday and asked me to call him before I come. When I checked with the service adviser, he told me not to listen to him as the part will only arrive in 1 month time.

The internal communication is a mess.

A person at the service centre also encountered an almost same experience with his vehicle. We chatted for quite a bit and he related some of the bad experiences with the ordering of spare parts for his Ford Ranger. Anyway, that another time as it's a long story. In summary, it is true that the waiting period for some or most spare parts is approximately 1 month.

In summary, I attribute the below par after-sales service of Ford to the Sime Darby's higher management. Most if not all of the staff at the working level (excluding the service manager at PJ Ford service centre which I was told is temporary since they couldn't find a suitable permanent one) is good and hardworking. It is unfortunate that due to the rather incompetent management, most of these service advisers at the working level need to bear the brunt of disgruntled car owners who are unhappy with the level of service they are getting.

And one last thing, try to avoid a Friday for servicing the car. It's just terrible. It lasted for one whole day until 5.00 pm.

lol y scold ppl when himself missed the service, we all other owner follow the rule y he can't, bcos he bot more expensive car? reli cipek person

1. 3+2 is standard for all focus mk3/mk3.5. Transferable to next owner.
2. 10 years only TCM. DCT only 5 years. Latest update: - 2 yr (Extend warranty) : Owner have to bare 25% of the cost.
3. 300++(Normal Service) to 1500++ (Major Services)
4. Reliable as long no break down. If anything wrong, at least 3 to 6 month queue time and minimum 7 days for repair
5. Steering Rack (10++k to 15K++), Battery (900++), Cat Con (5k++), Clutch Assy (8k++), Engine Mounting (900++ per pc), Air cond (1.5K++ to 5K++), O2 sensor (<1k), Brake Pad(1.5k ++)

There is a reason for the "steal" for such a stellar car

Word of advise, forget about it.... LOL

Else your might end up consume air/roti kosong just to repair the car....

LOL.... I am not trying to scare potential buyers... .... Just sharing some info i know.... I haven't paid a single cent yet as all the parts i claimed are still under 3 years warranty. But for the parts that i have claim - steering rack, brake pads, clutch assy, tcm, engine mounting and etc... there are amount on the claim invoice.... The rest of the price are shared by mk3 fb group.

Is true you can get a 300++ battery but later when anything happen to your tcm.... the sc will keep on cari pasal on the battery and force your to change your battery before changing the tcm or something. A lot of people kena already...

I agree 1 of u guys mentioned about don't do stupid thing to the car

I know some fella install stupid electronic devices like booster, add on ground cable, after market injectors etc etc i know bcos i saw them share in fb as if they can do better engineering

Thanks for the information. After you have changed the battery at the shop, is there any change to the electronics? Did you send your car to the service centre after you have changed the battery to have the electronics reset?

The service adviser at the PJ Ford service centre recommended Century brand battery for the Ford Focus. That was before he changed his mind in recommending owners to use the original Ford battery.
