I have had multiple faults with my 04/2007 LT Focus they are:
Fault: First six months of ownership, rear light fitting loose.

At about 30 000km, fault of random stalling and petrol smell would fill car. JarvisFord was adamant that they could not fault car. Taken to Stillwell Ford.

This is one sour lemon. All up its probably spent at least three months off the road in the last year. Not happy.
Although I might note though that despite the problems, Stillwell Ford has always maintained professionalism and a desire to fix the problems presented. Even if the mechanics are starting to get somewhat frustrated with the car.
Cheers L42B :(
