Had to replace transmission, cost close to $2,800. After that was replaced I has a coil spring break over the tire which broke off into my tire and I went careening over a railroad track and I went into a ditch. Ford Motor Company replaced that after much protesting on my behalf. I paid out of pocket to have it towed to a dealership. I was never reimbursed for that. The issue I have had since then is that the car stalls for no apparent reason. I have replaced an O2 censor and battery, but this problem persists. It does not matter what speed I am going. The car acts as if it isn't getting fuel to the motor. Now, mechanics are saying I may need to replace the fuel pump which is expensive. I will finally be paying this car off next month. It feels like a disposable adventure. I read up on the recalls and feel this has to be a recall with the fuel system. I am afraid to go very far in this car because I don't know when or where it will stall. It has no real pattern. I tried going with a higher grade of fuel, used additives and it just keeps doing the same thing, please consider my complaint.

On 10/23/07 I inserted key into ignition of my Ford Focus and immediatley the lights and gauges went haywire-vehicle failed to start. To make a long story short, after unpluging the battery cables and going back to the stranded car the next evening, it started. 2 days later my wipers came on by themselves and would not stop until I turned the car off and restarted. On 10/31/07 while driving my daughter home, the vehicle began accelerating and deccelertaing uncontrollably. I pulled of the highway and when I opened the drivers door, the seatbelt light began blinking and making a loud ticking noise. This had happened the night prior, but I thought maybe the button was depressed. My dome lights make a screeching noise and blink on and off. This is a serious problem that needs to be looked into. Whenever something like this happens I am driving home late at night and of course the dealer is not open to help me. My car is almost paid off and I will not invest more than what it is worth, which is only about $2,500.too bad I have paid about $18,000 for it. I would also like to know why I have not received recalls for the following problems: 1. 1st month after purchase, electrical system running airbags, mirrors, doors etc. Failed. 2. 37,000 miles- transmission failed 3. 42,000 miles- power door locks failed and soon after passenger doors stuck in the lock position. 4. all window tracks have failed. 5. wheel bearings replaced. 6. trunk latch failed 7. ignition failed and was replaced and is going again. 8. brought in for 1 recall (fuel filter) and still didn't correct problem with vibration and lurching. This is a vehicle that exceeds highway saftey ratings? something will be done about this if I must hire an attorney- I am out a lot of money and no vehicle.

I own a 2000 Ford Focus which stalled while driving on the interstate highway (85) between burlington and durham, nc on September 15, 2007. The car first began surging and lost power and later came to a complete stop on the interstate. Luckily I was able to pull to the side of the shoulder of the highway before the car came to a rest. The car later started and I was able to make it back home. I took the car to the Ford dealer in durham and was told that the problem was a clogged fuel pump and it needed to be replaced at a cost of $750. I visited the internet and found that the warranty was extended for the same problem on Focus assembled at the wayne and hermosillo assembly plants. The extended coverage program is 03N01. The dealer checked with what they called oasis and my car is not indicated as covered under the extended coverage program. While the failure of the fuel pump did not cause an accident that resulted in injury I feel that I was lucky and could have been towards the center of the highway and would have stalled on the highway and the result would have been different. This extended warranty should be extended to include all 2000 Focus because clearly the problem exist with other manufacturing locations and the defect is with the fuel delivery system and not the location of assembly of the vehicle. I have no way of checking behind the dealer but the serial number.

Went to vets, when leaving my Ford Focus started acting up. Seemed like gas was not getting to engine, then it quit. Left vets to come home, drove about 5 blocks and car did the same thing. A Honda dealer was close by so we left car there and rented a car to get home. Phoned Ford and they said they would do nothing for me. Husband went back to penticton to get my car and it did the same thing on the way home, quit coming home 3 times. The Honda dealer said if it did it again it was something to do with the fuel system pump, and we would have to replace it. When I talked to Ford they said they would not cover the replacement.

I bought my 2000 Ford Focus in October 2005; in January I had to have the ignition cylinder replaced. This was after I had to have the fuel pump replaced after it went out. I was at school in another county when the ignition locked up. I had to get the car towed to the local Ford dealership to get it replaced along with another key. I did not think any thing about it until I found a receipt from the previous owner who had the same part replaced a year earlier. That is the third ignition that has been replaced in my car counting the initial one that came in the car. Well the third one that I know of. I have recently read hundreds of other complaints of Focus owner's who have the same complaint. Ford should issue a recall to correct the problem.

In July 2005 myself and my children were driving my 2000 Ford Focus LX on the freeway and we were in the fast lane when our car started to stall and were unable to get gas to the car. We later took it to be checked and found out the fuel pump module was not putting fuel into the car and we had to replace it. We later found out that it had been replaced once before. So we had it fixed and on May 30 2006 also driving on the freeway by car began to stall and not want to move well. So once again I took it to be looked at and found out that the same problem as before with the fuel pump module was acting up again and needed to be replaced. I have not fixed it yet due to already fixing it within a years time and have found out that there was a recall on my car and found out the recall was not done on my car due to the VIN # not being included in the original recall bulletin.

I received a notice from Ford in 2005 stating that the fuel pump on my 2000 Ford Focus had some design issues. It also stated that not all vehicles had been affected but should you have any issues with the fuel system to bring it to a dealership for repair at no charge. Last month my check engine light kept turning on and I took the car in to have it inspected and my mechanic informed me that there was an issue with the fuel pump and it was spewing raw fuel into the wheel well. He also mentioned that this part was under recall from the manufacturer and referred me to a dealer near by. Upon arrival at the dealership, they disputed the recall notice that I had and denied me service. I was forced to pay out of my own pocket to repair the recalled item.

2000 Ford Focus SE, engine will stall with no warning causing a complete stop of the vehicle in the middle of the highway almost causing an accident. Since the problem didn't show any prior symptoms I consider this a major safety problem due to that when it happened to me in a 5 line highway at night with heavy traffic only luck helped me avoiding a major accident. I received a letter from Ford back on 2004 related to a fuel pump problem and a replacement program to vehicles having symptoms listed on the letter. At that time my vehicle was working fine so I follow the recommended action that was to take no action and safe the letter in case of something happening in the future. How good is the letter if this problem no give any warning signs it happen at any given time. Please follow up on this problem that had been reported by many owners.

- St Marys, GA, USA

The contact stated there was an electrical problem. The dealer said it was a problem with the sensors within the fuel pump. The dealer said they would need to replace the sensors to remedy the problem. Due to the numerous attempted repairs that have not corrected the problem he was not going to have the vehicle repaired at this time. The contact already spent enough money having the vehicle repaired, and should not be out any more money for attempts to repair the vehicle.
