Used Ford Focus for Sale in Burgaw, NC

There are some things I do not like about the Ford Focus 2014. I do get annoyed at the constant repetitive reminders of things that it alerts me -- even though I know they are there for my safety and things. I do get annoyed when I am in a hurry, and I hear the beeping. The main problem I have is that the batter is in a very awkward place. It is under the hood at the top right section but up under the body of the car. It makes it hard to get to if you have to hook jumper cables to it to help someone to boost off. I do not like the placement of this item. Especially if it's raining outside and you have to do it in a hurry. Very difficult to get to. Another downfall to this is if you do have to change the flat tire, you have to use the standard jack that comes with the car. You cannot use one that is your personal jack to use. When the tire is flat one side of the car is so low that only the standard jack fits underneath. My husband and I had this problem. He then stuck the original jack back into the car but was irritated because he would rather use the one that is a portable hydraulic jack because it is easier on him health wise.

The most negative aspect of this car is the transmission being very "jerky" at times. It is something I have researched and this particular year model has that problem. I don't feel like I can trust the car if I need to pull out quickly. It doesn't do it all the time so I never know if the car will actually have the "jerk" reaction. The rubber trim around all the doors in my opinion is very cheap. The rubber "seal" in the rear doors just comes loose and I have had to put it back in place each time. When I go through a car wash or if it rains I always find water in the bottom of the door frame when I open the door. The trunk is not very big, but in a smaller car I didn't expect it to be, however, the hinge where the trunk opens is dangerous. The hinge has a sharp end that goes in towards the trunk when you close it and things such as grocery items, etc. can get punctured by the hinges. You have to be careful where you put things in the trunk or when you close it, it will get jabbed or punctured and with my job I have things in the trunk and have to be very careful when closing the trunk.
