NHTSA Complaint #10028655 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ONE YEAR AND FIVE MONTHS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, TWICE WITHIN TWO MONTHS. MY GAS LINES HAVE FALLEN OFF THE CAR, CAUSING THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE FILLED WITH FUMES. STALLS WHILE DRIVING, NOT MATTER THE SPEED,DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, STILL ONGOING. CAR HESISTATES TO GO AT TIMES. OFTEN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS. HARD TO PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND OTHER GEARS, OFTEN POPS OUT OF GEAR. RECENTLY REPLACED CLUTCH CABLE, TECH SAYS THE CLUTCH IS FINE. REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AFTER BEING TOLD THEY WERE FINE, TWO WEEKS LATER THE ROTORS WERE GONE. BRAKES CONTINUE TO SQUEAK. WINDSHIELD IS NOT SEALED, YOU CAN HEAR AIR BLOWING IN WHILE DRIVING. HAD A BURNING SMELL FROM UNDER HOOD WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, ONLY TO GET A RECALL, AND MY CABLES WERE MELTED. BRAKE LIGHTS ALWAYS OUT, WHEN I REPLACE ONE THE OTHER GOES OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, AND DEALERSHIP, BOTH TELL ME I HAVE TO KEEP GETTING REPAIRS. I ASKED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO BUY THE CAR BACK, AND THEY REFUSED. I FEEL THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE, I HATE DRIVING IT.*AK
