Consumer Description

I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT AGAINST CROSSROADS FORD IN RALEIGH, NC WHO HAS ME DRIVINIG A DEATH TRAP. I LEAST THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR (2000 FORD FOCUS) AND ONLY PUT 9000 MILE ON IT TO DATE. EVEN SO, IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 45+ MILES PER HOUR. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF I DO NOT HAVE STEERING CAPABILITIES. MORE THAN ONCE I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND WAS IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. ONCE I WENT INTO A DITCH WITH MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR AND TO THIS DAY, HE STILL REMEMBERS IT. FORD HAS REFUSED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT FIXED IT. THIS IS MY SIXTH LEASE OR PURCHASE FROM FORD AND I AM APPAULED AT THE TREATMENT. I THINK THEY ARE WAITING FOR ANOTHER FIRESTONE INCIDENT, FOR ME TO LOSE MY LIFE, BEFORE THEY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM.*AK
