Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 FORD FOCUS I JUST BOUGHT FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER AND 3 OR 4 DAYS LATER THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING OUT OF THE BLUE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I GOT IT TESTED AND IT SAID CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. I GOT THE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES CHANGED AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE. THEN A WEEK LATER IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THIS TIME WITH MY WIFE DRIVING THE KIDS TO A DOCTOR APPT. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE OK WITH THE CAR EXCEPT THE STALLING. WHEN I TURN THE AC ON THE STALLING SEEMS WORSE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. BUT, NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CLOSE CALLS WITH ACCIDENTS. *NM
