Consumer Description

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS FOR FOCUS 2012 TWO YEARS AGO, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL OUT AND STOP WORKING ENTIRELY. I AM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT AND AFTER BRINGING THIS CAR IN FOR NUMEROUS REPAIRS OF THIS ISSUE, WITH NO REAL RESOLVE, I AM NOW FURIOUS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND MY ENGINE SAID "PARKING ASSIST FAILURE" AND THE CAR DIED. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS AS I TRIED TO COAST MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I COULD BRING IT IN "BUT THEY ALREADY FIXED IT." THEN JUST A FEW DAYS LATER I AM AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND IT STALLS AGAIN..THIS TIME WONT TURN BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FROM FORD, AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND I NEED OUT OF THIS CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN VOLKSWAGON'S, AND THIS WAS MY FIRST FORD. NEVER AGAIN. MEANWHILE, I AM UNDERWATER ON MY CAR LOAN NOW, BECAUSE I HAVE A CAR THAT IS WORTH NOTHING.
