I buy 100's of new cars a year (no exageration) and a lemon is very few and far between. You need to consider the dealer doesn't build the cars, and most if not all the time the fault is from manufactoring.

I dont have a problem with the dealer if they :
1, Replace the car with another identical model and colour 2. Full refund of my depostit.. (doubt this very mucH) or 3. The car gets a respray and the panels are alligned right, then l get a car assessor to check the quality of the repair.. If satisfactory l will take delivery, if not then option 1 and 2. Anyone else have any other opinions..? |

I have known people who got lemons and I don't envy them. It gets real emotional and Ford (dealer/company/customer centre) seem to have an attitude that they don't care. You can only persist with Ford or if that fails, then approach a solicitor and/or media.
I wish you luck. |

Just remember the new focus is built in Africa not Europe. How ever the Turbo and All Wheel Drive model are built in Europe.
Hope that clear thing up.

I think there is a 'lemon law', can't remember where I read it though.
If the problem can not be rectified in 6 months the vehicle is replaced.
