Whining noise when accelerating (ford focus 1.6i auto)?

Question

I was told that the tensioner and idler needs to be replaced but the car has only done 16,000 miles. Iv had the car for around 2 months and the car hasn't been clocked back as the service history adds up and hpi check was done.

Answer 1

To start with, is this car still under warranty? I have a 2000 Focus, and it had 7 recalls the first year. Still, if the car only has 16K miles, it should be covered under some type of warranty. If the dealership will not help you, contact Ford directly about it.

Answer 2

Sorry but American made cars are not dependable and not made well either.
