Ford wanted $1,000 to fix this. The problem happened on other ford focus models. I was told there was a service advisor and that nothing would be covered under warranty.

Car has stalled while driving on several occasions on the freeway and in residential neighborhoods. The car has also been in several times for excessive break noise. On one occasion the rear drums had to be turned due to drums being glazed over. Dealership either changes out the pads or adds an additive to soften the pads to stop the noise
