Default Focus Build problem - Rant - again

Here I go again,

When I took my Focus for servicing (See my other post on Servicing Rant) my wife explained that there is a water leak in the boot section, it runs down the carpeted siding inside the boot not from a seal. It is coming from between panels.

The dealer explained that they see it all the time with the Focus models, it now has to go to a panel beater to be fixed. Apparently it will take several days and is covered by warranty.

This is all very nice but.............. why it is that the Focus has a problem with the build quality in such a manner. Why hasn't Ford got it right after it became a problem in earlier models? Mine is a LS TDCi with 30,000Km's. the design of the car is fantastic - how can a basic fault happen on a production line?

OK.... I am getting down off my soap box now. BTW, I love my Focus and I still think it is one of the best cars I have owned. This considering I am a Holden man from way back.

Noel :togo:
