Speed there was acceleration from 12 mph up into 2nd gear. 1st symptom was loss of power upon shifting into 2nd gear. I have been very well treated by the service department at the Ford dealer.įuel delivery problem, possibly vapor lock/fuel pump related (a common $450-$600 repair way too early in the life of the 2000 & 2001 Ford Focus according to anecdotal E-mail evidence on internet chat sites), but equally likely to be related to EA02-022. I'm complaining about the Ford Focus and Ford in general (as a corporation and a brand) for allowing such a flaw to be sold to the general public. At this point I decided to sell the Focus to the same Ford dealer.

Even if the car is ok now, I don't feel safe driving it (or any other Ford). I have been stressed emotionally and financially. I can't afford to spend more money on more surprises. I was renting a car in order to go to work (paying to go to work). This has been my third week without a car. After re-wiring they test-drove the car again. The Ford dealer inspection all the electrical wires looking for a faulty connection ground. For the first time the check engine light was on (code P1237). I was able to record the data using flight recorder. I tried restarting it and it stalled again (4 times in a row). I drove it for 20mi with a "flight recorder" and it stalled right away. Ford technicians drove the car for 150 miles while hooked up to a "flight recorder" and found nothing.

After that the car stalled (and died) again while pulling out of a parking lot (5 mph and full tank). They replaced the fuel delivery module at no cost because of Ford recall #03N01. He didn't find anything wrong and suggested I should drive to a Ford dealer. The car restarted and I drove back to same mechanic. Two days later, the car stalled again in a residential area (20 mph and full tank of gas). Computer analysis showed a faulty mass air flow sensor. After 5 min I was able to restart the car and drive to my mechanic (not a Ford dealer). On March 2007 (90000 miles) the car stalled and died completely in the middle of a California freeway. I drove a 2000 Focus ZX3 for 3 years without a single problem.
