Consumer Description

2000 FORD FOCUS SE, CAR WAS PULLING. FELT LIKE A JERKING. CAR SEEMED TO IDLE OUT. IF I WAS TO SIT AT A LIGHT FOR MORE THAN 30 SECS IT CUT OFF. MAYBE 2-3 TIMES IN ONE DAY.I THOUGHT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AGAIN. BUT MY ENGINE WAS FAILING . THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S FROM THE CAR OVER HEATING. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN I LITERALLY FILL THE COOLANT TO MAX EVERY WEEK TO MAYBE TWO WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG. SEEMS LIKE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. NOW MY CAR IS THE STOP FOR AND WILL BE THERE FOR A WEEK. COST OVER $900! I THINK EVERYONE ON THIS SITE NEEDS TO START A CLASS ACTION SUITE AGAINTS FORD. THIS CAR WAS NOT READY FOR RELEASE AT ALL. THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH OUR LIVES LIKE WE ARE TEST DUMMIES!*AK
