MY CAR BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS AT 2,500 MILES. I HAVE HAD IT 8 MONTHS AND IT HAS BROKEN DOWN 5 TIMES. THE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING POSING A SERIOUS RISK OF CRASH, INJURY AND DEATH. THE DEFECT REMAINS UNRESOLVED. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO GO DEAD OTHER THAN SPUTTERING THEN DEAD. THE CAR HAS AN ERRATIC IDLE, DIES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, DIES IN PARK, DIES AT STOP SIGNS AND AT RED LIGHTS. I HAVE FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS TO MY DEALER PRIOR TO FILING HERE. NO ONE WILL HELP ME OR TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. PUT IT LIKE THIS, THE CAR CAN EITHER BE REPURCHASED AND FORD LOSE $17,000 OR ME AND MY CHILD GET KILLED AND MY HUSBAND SUE FORD FOR MILLIONS, AND HE WOULD WIN. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I DON'T WANT HER TO BE HARMED OR MYSELF OR OTHER MOTORIST FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE HAD MY CAR REPAIRED FOUR TIMES AND THIS TIME MAKES THE FIFTH. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. I AM CURRENTLY PURSUING ACTION UNDER THE "LEMON LAW" RIGHTS. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH CARS JUST LIKE MINE. MY HEART DROPPED WHEN I SAW SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME AND SAW THAT THEIR PROBLEM WAS GOING UNRESOLVED AS WELL. I PRAY THAT YOU WILL GIVE US ALL HELP. IT IS REDICLOUS THAT SOMEONE HAS TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THE MOTOR COMPANIES WILL ADMIT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT.*AK

I PURCHASED THIS FORD FOCUS IN MARCH 2001. IN MAY 2001 I WENT BACK TO PHIL LONG FORD BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. PERIODICALLY I WOULD BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR WOULD ACT AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING.

HE SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNLESS THEY COULD EXPERIENCE WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. I TOLD HIM THE CAR WAS SLIPPING, SKIPPING, AND TWICE WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE CAR LOST POWER. HE TOLD ME WHAT I HAD SAID DID NOT MAKE SENSE AND UNLESS THEY COULD EXPERIENCE THIS MALFUNCTION THEY COULD ONLY GUESS IT WAS ONE OF THE COMPUTERS IN THE CAR ADJUSTING FOR A ROAD CONDITION. THIS SERVICE REP DISMISSED ME AS BEING A STUPID WOMAN. TODAY, DECEMBER 31, 2001, I WENT TO MY CAR AT 7:00AM THIS MORING TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN I TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL IT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP.
