NHTSA Complaint #762931 — 2001 FORD FOCUS

HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR HESITATING AND STALLING. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. 5 OF WHICH WERE RELATED TO HESITATION. 3 OF THE THOSE 5 TIMES THEY FOUND PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. 2 TIMES FOR AN EGR EMISSIONS SENSOR AND 1 FOR A FUEL PUMP (THEY THINK). THE OTHER TWO TIMES THEY COULNDT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT THE TIME. I HAVE CALLED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT THE CAR, BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS REPAIRABLE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK NOW FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK SINCE THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. SEEMS TO HAVE A LITTLE HESITATION STILL, BUT HAS NOT STALLED. WE HAVE HAD THE LEFT REAR TIRE REPLACE ONCE FOR CUPPING OF THE TIRE. FORD DEALERSHIP WASNT SURE WHAT CAUSED IT, BUT THEY SAY I COULD HAVE RUN OVER SOMETHING HARD. THE NEW TIRE STARTING CUPPING LIKE THE ONE THEY REPLACED, THEN THAT IS WHEN THE RECALL FOR THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS WAS ISSUED. NO PROBLEMS SINCE THEN WITH THE TIRES.
