Do you try this before? When one of passenger door is not closed, we still can lock the car, no alarm warning, the side mirror is still auto fold, no indicator or signal to alert the driver. Tested few focus and all having this issue. Even SA was shocked when been informed, try on the show room car, also the same problem. The SA followed up the case with Ford and was told this is one of the safety feature from Ford!!! Would it be all ford models are having this "safety features"?

Yes, I also feel ford explanation is not really make any sense. Will try other ford model to find the real answer on my next visit to ford service center in March.

Mine FoFo has updated with software and performed change on clutch seal in July 2014
No grinding and rattling sound after this. But pay for the price of higher fuel consumption.
In the past, one full tank can last for 500km to 600km.
Now, only last for 480km to 580km. But I'm happy with it.

Noticed Ford Focus has one gimmick feature that surprised me last week. While driving on highway, the driving screen prompt me a message "Break Lamp Bulb Fault" to alert me for bulb changes. This feature really helpful and I immediately change my brake light bulb before kena saman or putting myself in danger while driving in the night.

my fofo has been in ford service center for more than one month and until now it is not able to resolve.

The story begin in early May. I can't start my car and though it is battery failure and sent to ford service center for car battery replacement. But, later on, I found my car was difficult to start the engine 2 days after new battery replacement.

The failure to start the engine getting serious. Sometime, I can start the car engine by one press on push start button. But most of the time, I spent at least 15 minutes or more than a hour to keep on pressing the push start button to start the car engine. Log the complaint to ford service center and the feedback is problem on ABS sensor. No stock on ABS sensor and ask me to drive the car temporary as it is until the ABS sensors are available. Make lot of noise in service center and they can't help much since Ford PJ HQ is damn slow in response.

Ask for courtesy car for temporary until my car is fix. The service center unable to fulfill and not even want to help too. After shouting on Ford customer careline several time, finally receive courtesy car Hyundi i10 on 4 June until today.

On part replacement, in the beginning the service center claimed it is ABS sensor failure, but later on informed that changing ABS sensor will cause problem on immobilizer. Immobilizer stock in Thailand, and it took 2 weeks to arrive Malaysia from Thailand. Cant believe that kind of bad service from Ford Malaysia.

Finally the immobilizer is arrived and installed yesterday morning. Bang! the car engine still fail to start. Until now, everyone is clueless and no idea to proceed on my car.

In fact, I love FoFo on its driving dynamic but with this kind of service from ford Malaysia, I wont recommend Ford car to anyone. Before this breakdown, I plan to replace FoFo by this year end with new Ford Everest. Now, I will switch to other car model.

Beside of all the bad thing in ford service, only one good point for ford customer careline, The lady Ms Alza that attend to my case, is very prompt on her response and assist. For others involved in my case, you are fail and suck on your service.

Bought in on Jan 2012.
before face some issue on clutch replacement, and failure on parking sensor, all this problem took a week for repair, but it is still in my acceptance limit.
But this latest issue, my tolerance is gone.

As the service center and careline feedback, nobody know how to proceed now, the car is parked outside on the roadside and waiting for technical center feedback.

Yes, keep on pressing the push start button until get the car started, 5, 10, 15 , 30 minutes or even more.
I'm being a laughing stock every morning when try to start my car in my neighborhood area.
When complaining to service center, they never took it seriously.
Until one Monday, I called service center that I will tow my car to their center as I don't want to start my car under the hot sun.
They though I'm crazy on complaining without real problem.
But, when the car is tow to the center, and the service advisor also cant start my car more than 1/2 hour, by then, only they realize how bad my car is and how true my patient is diminished by their service.

Since this incident, plan to switch my next car to Nissan X-trail, Mazda CX-5 or New Kia Sorento 2015.

No more Ford for me until the service is improved.
But, definitely I will miss the driving dynamic and Sync system in Ford car.

Ok, Thanks! Will visit the service center and take a look on it.

finally my FoFo is back after 1.5 month in the service center.
Just to recall my case, my FoFo can't start the engine even with new battery replacement. initially replaced ABS sensor and immobilizer but still fail to start my car engine. and finally detected the culprit, Transmission Control Module (TCM). after replaced with new TCM, everything looks ok now.

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.

Hi all, i've intermittent battery drained out problem on my ford focus mk3 (2012) since last year. The problem started last year i have to do jump start every morning after the car parked overnight. the problem resolved after Ford authorised dealer detected the issue and do reprogramming, and replace one new battery. Unfortunately, after 6 months driving without any issue, lately the car battery drained out again after parked overnight. Get back to same Ford authorised dealer, and was told TPM failure, and need to replace with RM4k+ charges. I'm currently curious whether it's worth to change at Ford authorised dealer, or any outside workshop can solve this issue? i'm concerned TPM might not be the real issue, and it will hunt me again in later months. Wonder anyone face this issue before, or get the TPM replaced at what cost? Thanks.

Hi folks, sorry for my typo error on my last posting. It's PCM failure. (Powertrain Control Module ). I've no other option, and have make my payment for PCM replacement.

Wait for 2 months to get my car fixed. 2 issues caused my battery drained everyday. 1st is PCM, and another Keyless entry. Due to the cost damage, i just go for PCM replacement, and deactivate keyless entry. Previously my car already have difficulties using keyless entry, on-off intermitten must use remote key to open my car door.

My car issue is solved after PCM replacement. But after few months, my car can’t detect car key, and was found BCM kaput. Another round to SC for BCM replacement. tired with all this problem. And I plan to trade off once get back the car from SC.
