Consumer Description
VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT ROUGH IDLING AND SURGING. HAS NOW ESCALATED TO FREQUENT STALLING IN HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. STALLS WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS AND SIMPLY DOWN SHIFTING. OCCURS MOSTLY WHILE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. FORD TECHNICIANS ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND RESOLUTION BUT REFUSE TO REPAIR TSB HARNESS BECAUSE NO FAILURE CODE IS RECEIVED AND FORD CORPORATE WILL NOT APPROVE REPAIR WITHOUT A CODE. STALLS HAVE OCCURRED ON REGULAR BASIS WITH FAMILY IN CAR AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND OUR SAFETY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I AM NOT THE ONLY FORD FOCUS ST OWNER HAVING THIS ISSUE CLEARLY VISIBLE IN ALL THE FORUMS. *TR
