Consumer Description

BOUGHT FOCUS NEW WITH 49 MILES ON IT ON DEC 1, 2010. I HAVE HAD PREMATURE TIRE WEAR, AND ISSUES WITH STALLING/ JUMPING. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM AN EVENT THIS PAST WEEKEND AND HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD 45 MINUTES WHEN THE CAR STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL, THEN STARTED MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL NOISE. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME, AND AFTER ARRIVING HOME THE CAR KEPT WANTING TO JUMP WHILE PARKED. THE IDLE WOULD JUMP TO 3000RPM THEN BACK DOWN TO 1000RPM, THEN RISE SLOWLY HOLDING STEADY AT 2000RPM FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN RELAX. AFTER ALL OF THIS THE CAR HAD A STRONG COOLANT SMELL, AS WELL AS HIGH CONDENSATION DRIPPING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, AND AFTER 3 DAYS THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. AFTER READING THE 105 COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2010 FOCUS I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE, AND NOW HAVE JUST DECIDED TO DITCH THE FOCUS. *TR
