Consumer Description

AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR IN JAN OF 2000. I HAD TO TAKE IT INTO THE SHOP 3 DAYS AFTER FOR A LINKAGE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING IN REVERSE AND REVERSING IN DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN QUITE A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN FOR A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, FOR IT NOT ACCELERATING WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY, AND FOR IT ACCELERATING FOR NO REASON AT ALL. EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. WHICH I KNOW IT WAS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN OTHER 2000 FORD FOCUS' AND THEY ARE ANY WHERE AS LOUD AS MINE IS AND THEY DO NOT TAKE OFF LIKE MINE DOES, AND THE PICK UP SPEED IS WONDERFUL. I AM AWARE THAT THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED NEAR THAT DATE THAT ARE OR WERE ON RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS, SO I CAN GET IT FIXED BEFORE ANY ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JB
