I also received an advisory from Ford on potential corrosion problems with the front coil of my 2003 ZTW, indicating they would replace them at no cost if they fail. I am aware from friends who had front coils fail on Ford Taurus in the past that if travelling at high speed when this occurs, it could pose a serious safety hazard to the car occupants or other vehicles as you could lose control. As I live in an area which is salted extensively in winter, I called Ford Canada asking them to indicate why they weren't recalling the vehicles, or alternatively to give me indication in writing that coil failure would not present a safety hazard. They refused to do either. I find this disturbing. Has anyone experienced a coil failure with their Focus, and if so, would you assess it as a potential safety hazard? Thanks for any replies.
