We purchased our 2000 ford focus in august of 2003 it had low miles and we figured i was a good car. In october it broke down on us and it was a clutch disk that went out. We said ok and they fixed it under warranty. The day after we got it back from the shop it started making a weird noise so we took it back and they said they need to make a adjustment. Then less than 3 weeks later we ended up having it break down…

On the 12th of october, i was driving on the interstate at about 70 mph, when the engine started to hesitate, and then finally just stalled out all of a sudden. I was in the 2nd lane from the left on a 4 lane interstate, and cars had to swerve around me to avoid a collision. I have done some research, and have found hundreds of similar cases of fuel pump failure on ford focus. I think this should be a safety recall.…
