Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD FOCUS ZTS. WITH A 1/2 TANK OF FUEL OR LESS, MY CAR STALLS IN MID ACCELERATION, WHILE GOING AROUND CURVES, DUE TO WHAT FEELS LIKE LACK OF FUEL. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE ONCE THE CURVE IS PASSED, I DO NOT IMMEDIATELY GET FUEL BACK TO THE ENGINE. I HAVE AVOIDED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE. IT ORIGINALLY STARTED WITH A 1/4 TANK OR LESS. NOW IT'S A 1/2 TANK OR LESS. IT'S STARTING TO WORRY ME. THIS HAPPENS AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS AND IS MUCH WORSE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC FROM AN OFF-RAMP. *JB
