What we have here is a fine running SVT Focus.  It has all the options NADA lists for the SVT plus the audiophile stereo that includes a 6 disc DC changer and a power sunroof that does not leak.  No dents, no rust, no mechanical problems.  All the options operate as they should.  No problems with the CV joints, it shifts as it should.  If you are familiar with the SVT you know that this car has substantially more performance than a regular Focus.  Build quality is also much better than the next generation Focus.  This is the second engine in this car.  The first had a bad main bearing.  Replacing the engine was about the same as a rebuild so I had a used engine put in with almost exactly the same mileage as the car, so the 104K miles is accurate for both body and engine.  I had a new clutch and timing belt installed when the engine went in.  I've driven it for just a little less than 10,000 miles since the install and all is as it should be.  Overall the car is in nice shape with no body damage.  It was a southern car so it has no rust.  The breaks are good, the tires also have about 10,000 miles and are in very good shape.  The steering is tight, the whole car is tight.  The reason for selling is that I have way too many toys and I need to thin the herd.  The car is currently located in southern West Virginia but was in southern North Carolina before this.  The worst thing about it is the flaking clear-coat on the bumpers.  The rest of the paint is good.  The hatch release on the dash works about 50% of the time, but the releases on the remotes always work.  NADA clean trade is $4,450, retail is $6,550.  My reserve is somewhere in between.  Since this is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Of course shipping is at the expense of the buyer.  I will assist with loading but the buyer must make all arrangements.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
