The pump is the same one described in the ford extended coverage program03n01 dated 2003 and supplements 1 & 2 dated january 2004.

They said the car wouldn't go out of the shop if it wasn't fixed. So i paid them $416 to get the alternator fixed. After i got the car back within a day, it stopped working again. The same problem and the car would not start,…

I own a 2001 ford focus ztech. My car was stalling at random in the middle of driving and finally wouldnt start at all. I took it to a dealership. They said my battery cables were melted, so they replaced them, rerouted them, along with my clips, etc. They couldn't figure out why my cables would be like that and said that is probably why my car doesn't start all the time, but they couldn't be positive so they…

Since august 2003, i have experienced ignition lock five (5) times with my 2001 ford focus. First two "repairs" (8/03 and 12/03) were covered under warranty, and supposedly replaced the ignition cylinder. I never saw the old part. However, when vehicle was taken in for subsequent repair to the same problem (2/04), i was told that a permanent repair would require replacement of the steering column and would cost me…

We sued ford via the magnuson moss warranty act. The focus had been sold prior to the filing of the law suit. We reached an out of court settlement of $3500. The problem with the car was intermittent stalling. The local ford dealer was unable to determine the cause of the problem.

My security system basically went nutty...it even sounded funny when the horn sounded, the cruise would also stick or not work at all when it should have been turned on. I have had the hego sensor or the front oxygen sensor replaced 3 times, one at my own cost...i had a huge bulge pop out on my tire early on, firestone replaced it at no cost...the brakes have intermittantly squealed since the vehicle had few miles…

I have had numerous problems with my focus. About 3mo after i bought it, the transmission began to feel like it was slipping, and making a noise. I took it to the purchasing dealership, and a mechanic told me it was the torque converter. They didn't have a loaner car for me, so i made an an appointment for the following week. The next day on my way home from work, the car shut down. I called a tow truck, they took…
