While driving on the highway my 2016 ford focus stalled without warning and would not start until after having it towed. When I go to the gas station after filling the gas tank my vehicle is either hard to start or doesn't start until after waiting a while. This happens often.

The rear quarter glass seals have both started leaking within 2 months of each other. Water enters through the seal leak and enters the hatch and under rear seats. I have verified this is the leak by spraying a water hose on the outside and watching it leak pretty heavily in the inside of the vehicle.

Both hatch struts failed within 1 year of purchasing the car new from dealer. Struts failed without warning and hatch dropped on head. After strut failure, the hatch was a serious safety hazard as it would slam shut in a way that would easily take off a finger or a hand.
