Purchased my car in 2000. My car currently has 51,000 miles on it now. Since that time, I have purchased two brand new sets of tires and have had my car aligned two times.. ihave also needed my trunk latch replaced and although my brakes have been replaced they continue to squeal. Recently, whilr driving on an interstate mt car sputtered and shut down. I waited two hours at which point it was able to be driven. I took it to Ford and they believed I need my fuel pump replaced. This occurred one more time approximately three days later.

- Marietta, OH, USA

Car started stalling before it ran out of warranty. Dealer replaced fuel pump that was all they could figure out. That lasted as long as the warranty did. I personaly replaced the fuel tank and fuel pump and fuel filters each time. The car has continued to stall sense under warranty. The dealer can't figure out the problem, they said that they have nothing but problem with the Ford Focus. I've contacted Ford Corp. And you get no help from them. The car has stalled on several occasion as long as the car sit for a long period of time it will start and run for awhile then it will do it again. I cannot afford to take it the dealer each time to tell me nothing is wrong with it. This problem could end in an accident and possible injury. I hope this doesn't take a class action suit against Ford to get this problem corrected.
