Oh yes, there was! I am not talking about simple things like NVH or other minor issues. I am talking about safety recalls like the wheel bearing failures which can cause your damn tires to fall off kind of variety! I was a summer intern at Ford in 06/07 and they were still dealing with issues from the 2000-2003/04 cars. A sample for you: "2000-10-24 (Published by NHTSA on 2000-10-24) Recall Summary: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE REAR WHEEL HUB RETAINING NUTS CAN LOOSEN AND ALLOW THE LEFT REAR WHEEL AND BRAKE DRUM ASSEMBLY TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. Hazard: THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH." Knock yourself out. And this doesn't include dealer fixes (called technical service bulletins -TSBs) which are not actual recalls. https://www.autosafety.org/fords-trouble-prone-focus-hit-safety-recalls-service-campaigns-investigations/ https://www.autosafety.org/fords-trouble-prone-focus-hit-saf... http://wemakeitsafer.com/vehicle-recall/Ford-Focus-Recall-5096172 http://wemakeitsafer.com/vehicle-recall/Ford-Focus-Recall-50...
