NHTSA Complaint #10069681 — 2001 FORD FOCUS

THE REASON SOME OF THESE ARE NOT DATED IS BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS KEEP ON PERSISTING THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY CAR DIES ON ME AND THE CAN NOT FIND THE CAUSE. IT MAKES A WINDING SOUND WHEN I TAKE OFF AND STILL THEY CAN NOT FIND THE CAUSE. MY GEARS ALWAYS WIND AND AS SOON AS I GET IT OUT OF THE SHOP ABOUT ONE TO TWO WEEKS LATER IT IS DOING IT AGAIN, WHEN I AM DRIVING IT JERKS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE OR GO OUT OF GEAR(KEEP IN MIND I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT). I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES TWO TIMES I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES AND THEY ARE MESSED UP NOW. I AM NOT A BAD DRIVER I KNOW IT IS NOT ME I HAVE A CHILD THAT IS CONSTANTLY WITH ME I DO NOT DRIVE CRAZY TO MAKE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE REPLACED ONCE ALREADY AND NOW THEY ARE SQEEKING AGAIN. MY CAR CIGARETTE LIGHTER KEEPS ON BURNING OUT. I JUST GET SO FRUSTRATED THAT I AM SPENDING ALL OF THIS MONEY FOR THEM TO WORK ON MY CAR WITH THE WARRANTY AND THEN TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND NOW THE WARRANTY IS OUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PEICE OF JUNK. I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER CARS AND THEY NEVER GAVE ME ANY PROBLEMS AND KNOW I AM STUCK UNHAPPY EVERYDAY WITH THIS CAR I CAN NOT STAND TO DRIVE, I FEEL UNSAFE IN IT EVERYDAY.
