2007 FORD FOCUS
This model year
What the record shows
The 2007 Ford Focus is a compact car, and the 9th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1999 to 2018.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 2-litre four-cylinder to 2.3-litre four-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 23 to 27 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 391 owner complaints and 18 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
