ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AFTER READING IN MY 10/13/02 DETROIT NEWS/FREE PRESS ABOUT PROBLEMS REGUARDING MY 2000 FORD FOCUS , I DECIDED TO LODGE THIS COMPLAINT. THE ARTICLE LISTED ONE PROBLEM BEING A SUDDEN STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH MY CAR JUST STALLED OUT. I COULD NOT RESTART IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION ABOUT 1 BLOCK FROM WHERE IT STALLED. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I PAID $625 FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER READING THE ARTICLE I AM NOW WONDERING IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY FAULTY FORD PARTS. MR
