Hey all,
I'm researching a problem on my wife's Focus. It's a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3, with 60,000 plus miles on it. She was driving it Friday and heard a "grinding" that got worse while turning the wheel. Then she stopped immediately and called a tow truck (AAA...my friend). She took it to the dealer and the service dept. suggests it might be the tranny. I did a quick google search and found there might be an epidemic of tranny and brake problems on this car. Does anyone here have any info on that or links to any info? If the transmission is replaced, how much life will we get out of it before more problems crop up?
Thanks, Jim
