WE SUED FORD VIA THE MAGNUSON MOSS WARRANTY ACT. THE FOCUS HAD BEEN SOLD PRIOR TO THE FILING OF THE LAW SUIT. WE REACHED AN OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT OF $3500. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WAS INTERMITTENT STALLING. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

I TOOK IT TO THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP, AND A MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER CAR FOR ME, SO I MADE AN AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE NEXT DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, THEY TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE STUTTER I WAS FEELING IN MY CAR WAS PROBABLY THAT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, AND THE SHOP SUPERVISOR WENT OUT WITH ME. HE SAID I WAS DRIVING THE CAR OUT OF CONTEXT. WHAT...

I THINK NOT. THE LAST COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE IS...
