+1 for city drive around 9 litre/ 100km

I've read all those negative comment on Ford service centre in Ford Malaysia website and it is really affect my thoughts in getting one myself.

Appreciate the owners here can shed some lights.

went to ford showroom today, current promotion is 8k discount. good deal?

hi i ll be getting my ford focus sport next week. however only get 8k rebate + tinting + full petrol. not much i would say. sigh SC claim high grade tinting

btw is there any advice maintaining this car before i reach my 1000K service? planning to go to cameroon early next month with FOFO. haha

Can please help.

First when try to start as usual, suddenly the screen message "key not detected".
I have the key inside the car with me at that time.

Then I take out the key inside the remote and insert the remote inside the slot under steering on the right.
Then all screen went off.

Now all things lock. Gears, dark screen. Cannot start.

It is not the battery problem I supposed.

Help please.

i have a prb here, when the rpm shoot up to 5000 and above i can hear a sound ding ding ding, its like door ring bell. anyone of u have this prb?

Okay thanks for the information. Jerking and grinding, to me is something that I have learned to live with, something that I consider as inherent characteristics of the car. They come and go, sometimes minor, sometimes a bit severe. Similarly I do think this jerking and grinding will not be eliminated completely being an inherent character of the car. I was just hoping that after the clutch replacement, somehow, the jerking and grinding will be minimised to a very low level. But after reading your experience as well as another one here on this forum, it looks like the jerking and grinding will persist (or maybe get worse) after the clutch replacement exercise. Not good.

My car is also close to this mileage. Juddering is already a common thing with this car (the car jerks forward by itself even though you did not step on the pedal). Similarly I feel a slight loss of power but it is entirely based on feelings which is subjective. I didn't record any acceleration times ie. 0-100km/h but in one isolated case, the acceleration of the Ford Focus lost to the Toyota Camry when both my car and the Camry were at the traffic lights, sprinting up an inclined slope. The driver of the Camry was surely going for it, and similarly I was going at it too, but the Camry seemed to pull away slightly from my car. I didn't take note whether it was a Camry 2.0 or 2.5, but even if it's a 2.5, I got the feeling that the Ford Focus is not as powerful as it used to be. Likely due to the (leaking) transmission or something else.

I am still waiting for Ford to call and inform on the tentative date of the clutch replacement, and hopefully the car's acceleration prowess and juddering will improve after the rectification work.

No weird sound from the engine though. The sound of the engine of the Focus in both moderate and hard acceleration is robust and nice. Unlike the roar of the engine of my other car, the Proton Preve Turbo which sounded awful during hard acceleration.

Hi guys,

My ford focus 2012 Titanium + ,Door Latch open while driving. I heard there a recall back in 2019 correct?
