Consumer Description

SIX WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, ENGINE STALLED ON FREEWAY. DEALER SAID COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 5/31/02 COULD NOT GET CAR TO GO; HAD TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THEY FINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE AIR INTAKE VALVE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TODAY I HEAR ABOUT THE FOCUS STALLING PROBLEM POSSIBLY BEING CAUSED BY DEBRIS IN GAS TANK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR IT WILL STALL AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS LUCKY THE LAST TIME THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND DID NOT GET INTO A CRASH. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE CAR AND GET IT OFF THE FREEWAY. OTHER CONTINUING PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD THE DEALER FIX OVER 3 TIMES EACH: SQUEAKING BRAKES AND MOLDING AROUND THE DOORS FALLING OFF.
