Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2000 FORD FOCUS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR EVER SINCE SEPTEMBER TO PRESENT DATE. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. EVER SENSE SEPTEMBER THIS CAR HAS BEEN THROUGH 4 DEALERSHIPS. (POMOCO SMITHFIELD, POMOCO LINCOLN MERCURY, POMOCO JEEP, AND FREEDOM FORD) 2 RECALL NOTICES WERE PERFORMED.(FUEL DELIVERY MODULE AND THE PINCH BOLT BATTERY CABLES OR "STEERING LINKAGES".) THE CAR HAS CUT OFF ON ME A TOTAL OF 16 TIMES THAT I CAN DEFINITELY RECALL. I HIT A CURB DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. I ALSO ALMOST GOT INTO 2 ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF ENGINE FAILURE. I ALSO GOT A TICKET FOR FAILURE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT BECAUSE OF THE CAR PUTTERING AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STALLING AT RED LIGHTS. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY. (MARCH 1, 2005) FOR THE SECOND TIME. *AK
