THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON EXACTLY 1 WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT WAS RETURNED TO ME 2 DAYS LATER AND 1 WEEK AFTER THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON. BOTH TIMES THE CAR STOPPED CUT OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THE MAIN COMPUTER. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2001 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND I RETURNED AGAIN IN ANOTHER WEEK SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AROUND THE SEAL ON THE GAS TANK. THEY RETURNED IT TO ME. IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH, I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN (THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR CUTS OFF). AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE MAIN COMPUTER AND THEY REPLACED IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME. I HAVE TALKED TO A FORD REP AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND EVEN OFFERED TO SELL ME ANOTHER ONE! THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST FORD!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT TO TURN. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN I HEARD A BIG CLUNK. I THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING SO I CHECKED BUT NOTHING WAS THERE. I NOTICED MY BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON BUT THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN TO TURN SO I STARTED TO GO AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. I PULLED OVER AT THE LIQUOR STORE AND HAD MY FRIEND LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. UPON PULLING ON THE SERPENTINE BELT, THE TENSIONER PULLEY FELL RIGHT OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE INCIDENT WE FOUND A SNAPPED OFF BOLT IN THE STREET. SNAPPED NEATLY AT THE BEGINNING THREAD. ALSO ON THE PULLEY, THE MOUNTING ARM WAS SNAPPED IN HALF. I KNOW NTSA IS INVESTIGATING MANY PARTS ON THE FOCUS, SO I THOUGHT I'D GIVE A HEADS UP ABOUT THIS JUST INCASE IT COULD POSE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS LATER ON. THANKS AND HAVE A NICE DAY. *AK

TIRES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE), FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
