Ford Fungus (Focus)
Picked it up brand new in 2008 as a company fleet car and always having electrical problems.
1. Indicator blinking noise went silent one day but the indicator still worked (that's when I found out the blinking noise is actually from a small speaker and not from an old style relay!)
2. The doors locking and unlocking every 2 seconds for a 1 hour trip. Always a problem and not just 1 trip.
3. All of the mimics on the cluster panel lighting up whilst doing 90km/hr
4. The power window decided to fail in a drive through (a few times)
5. The car unlocking itself at 2AM noticeable by the orange indicator lights flashing in the driveway and being seen from our bedroom (regular event)
6. The boot opened by itself at an intersection (and several other times)
and it goes on.
The car went back to Ford 4 times and because they were intermittent problems, it was passed off as a dirty connector. But one service report said "firmware upgrade". Crikey!
Finally after about 18 months, the car was written off technically as functionally unsafe as it could not be fixed within the fleet budget
.
Apart from that, physically & mechanically it was a solid car.
