Consumer Description

2000 FORD FOCUS STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE CENTER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE COMPLAINT. I'VE HAD A FLIGHT DATA RECORDER INSTALLED ON IT TO CAPTURE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT. HOWEVER, EVERYTIME THE CAR STALLED, IT GOES COMPLETELY DEAD AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CAPTURE ANY DATA. THE STALLING SEEMS TO OCCUR ONLY DURING THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS. SINCE I LIVE IN ARIZONA, BEING STRANDED IN 110 DEGREEES IN ITSELF IS A SAFETY FACTOR, NOT TO MENTION TRYING TO SAFELY GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.*AK
