Consumer Description

AT 88,000 MILES MY FOCUS STARTED LOSING POWER AND CUTTING OFF COMPLETELY. IT WOULD START BACK UP WHEN CRANKED. THE DEALERSHIP (WAY BROTHERS) WOULD ALWAYS SAY ITS NOT DOING IT NOW OR WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AFTER TAKING IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS IT STARTED KNOCKING AND CUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD COST 3500-4000 TO FIX (THAT'S WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE) I HAD ANOTHER ENGINE INSTALLED AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A YEAR AND STARTED DOING THE SAME THING (LOSING POWER AND CUTTING OFF) THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE SAME THING (CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG) NOW IT IS KNOCKING AND SMOKING FROM THE PIPE LEADING TO THE MANIFOLD. THIS IS MY SECOND ENGINE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH 2000 FOCUS OR IS IT ALL FOCUS. *NM
