Consumer Description

2000 FORD FOCUS SE, ENGINE WILL STALL WITH NO WARNING CAUSING A COMPLETE STOP OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE PROBLEM DIDN'T SHOW ANY PRIOR SYMPTOMS I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A 5 LINE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC ONLY LUCK HELPED ME AVOIDING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD BACK ON 2004 RELATED TO A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM TO VEHICLES HAVING SYMPTOMS LISTED ON THE LETTER. AT THAT TIME MY VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE SO I FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED ACTION THAT WAS TO TAKE NO ACTION AND SAFE THE LETTER IN CASE OF SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. HOW GOOD IS THE LETTER IF THIS PROBLEM NO GIVE ANY WARNING SIGNS IT HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. PLEASE FOLLOW UP ON THIS PROBLEM THAT HAD BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OWNERS. *JB
