NHTSA Complaint #769971 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY 2000 FOCUS. FORD HAS NOT BEEN WILLING TO FIX ANY PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT I'M OUT OF MY WARRANTY. MY POWER STEERING SWITCH HAS WENT OUT 2 TIMES AND WHEN I TAKE IT BACK NOW THERE TELLING ME IT WASN'T THE SWITCH, ITS THE PUMP. SINCE THAT'S OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T REFUND MY MONEY OR ANYTHING. FORD HAS A RECALL ON LEFT WHEEL BEARINGS, BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR MINE TO BE DONE, BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS IN 2001 AND MY BEARINGS DID NOT GO BAD UNTIL 2002. THERE IS TOO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH THE FORD FOCUS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR IN WHICH I HAD TO FIX EVERY 5 MONTHS. THE CURRENT ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR IS STALLING. IN IDLE IT WILL GET A POINT WHERE IT WILL CUT OFF. WHEN SHIFTING TO DIFFERENT GEARS, IT HESITATES. THE CAR IS SHAKING LIKE IT WILL EVENTUALLY CUT OFF. IT HAS CUT OFF 3 TIMES AND THE EMISSION/ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DT
