2006 Ford FOCUS Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1011795
Internal NHTSA #	10544163
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	FOCUS
Model Year	2006
File date	03/06/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The air vent selector jammed when it suddenly was needed for defrost, then the cable broke and the air vent setting for defrost could not be selected, leading to a dangerous situation with no forward visibility while on the highway. I found many other focus owners with the same problem online, due to a defective seal that turns to gum and sticks shut. This can lead to unexpected and sudden loss of defrosting capability, and visibility can be lost in seconds. We also have another focus that is starting to stick, so this is not an isolated problem with these cars, approximately from model year 2005 - 2007.
