I was sold a dangerous car?

My partner bought a used Ford Focus from Evans Halshaw in August 2016. It had only 7000 miles on and it basically looked brand new.

Anyway, fast forward till January 2018 and she has her MOT and the mechanic said that "he has never seen anything like it before" and that it looked like it had been in a crash. It failed on over 10 things and was deemed unsafe to be on the road. He even said that some of the parts were incorrectly wired. We were absolutely confused because we have been in no accident nor had we botched it up via a backstreet mechanic. So we contacted Evans Halshaw and inquired about the state of the car. They said that everything was fine when they sold it to her - so we contacted the service company who serviced the car to send us the check-sheet on them carrying out the service of the car, and again everything was fine.

Therefore we can't go to trading standards because it's Evans Halshaws and the service company's word against ours. We have now had to pay £600 to get the car completely fixed. We have been having a problem with Evans Halshaw ever since we were sold the car - we still haven't received a contract despite us chasing them on it, and they failed to disclose that this was previously a hire car.

I was just wondering if we have any rights?

Check Engine Light Went Off By Itself?

I have a 2012 Ford Focus 84,000 miles.

Last week I had to take a trip and stopped to fill up the tank. On the way back, my check engine light went on with the code P0420. I took it into the Ford dealer and they said they need to replace my Vapor Management Valve, Fuel Tank, Cat Converter and Gasket… $2195 repair. They said the VMV caused this.

Last night, I had to take another trip. Filled my gas tank up at a my normal place. Drove. No issues with driving.

When I go to start my car back up today, check engine light is no longer on. Car runs fine. It IS raining out a lot if that means anything.

Any thoughts if this could be bad gas, malfunction, etc. Why would they need to replace my gas tank? That doesn't sound right…

Should I just chaulk this up to some bad gas?

What is wrong with my car? - 3

I have a 2012 ford focus sel. My check engine light is on. At first it was being jumpy from time to time but after pressing the gas for a second it was fine. Now everytime i get gas when i turn my car back on it won't start at first and the battery light is on. The second time it starts and the battery light goes away but my check emgine light is still on. And sometimes when i'm stopped the battery light comes on and it will stop. I have to turn it off and start it again. Then it runs fine. I got a new bettery not long ago but the first problem i was having with it being jumpy started before the new battery. What does it sounds like is wrong?

P420 Code. O2 Sensor or Catalytic Converter?

I drive a 2012 Ford Focus manual 5 speed. I recently had a P0420 code come up in my check engine light.

Driving wise, the car runs fine. It runs smooth idle with no bumps or hiccups.

Would this code more than likely point to the O2 sensor vs converter since the car is driving with no problems.

**One thing that did recently happen was the cruise control has stopped working as well as the gear shift light stopped illuminating**

My passenger headlight won't work

I have a 2012 Ford Focus SEL, and when I was about to leave work I noticed a light out, so I went to Walmart got a bulb and put it in and it won't work. The wires leading to the lights are getting 7.4 volts on both lights, but my passenger side isn't working. The bulbs work it's just I can't get the light to turn on.

Should I buy a 2000 Ford Focus SE as spare car?

Btw I already brought a 2017 Honda Civic on Dec 2016, I want to buy this but just only as spare car. I have a new friend on facebook selling his 180k $900 Ford and my uncle will repair and replace all the parts to run as new.

2006 FORD FOCUS CAR PROBLEMS

Let's start off by saying I know absolutely nothing about cars. So bear with me.

This problem ALWAYS happens after I stop the car and then try to accelerate again.

I will press the gas pedal and it will JUST start to accelerate and then the car will jerk and the O/D Off light will start flashing. And even though I'm continuing to press the gas pedal (the rpms shoot up HOWEVER the speedometer stops working and stays at 0), the car will not go faster than about 2 mph. Then after a minute, the car will kick again, the light will go off, and it will accelerate.

Just the other day, I was stopped at a light, and when it turned green I hit the gas pedal and the car didn't move AT ALL. The rpms went up, the speedometer didn't move, and I stayed in one spot.

NOTE: If I restart my car, it runs fine again.

This has been happening for a few months now (started out happening maybe once a month) but now it is happening daily. I'm not sure what the problem could be so any advice would be helpful. Obviously I'm going to have the car looked at, but I would like to hear what you THINK it sounds like, just so I can get an idea of maybe what I'm dealing with.
