I have a 2001 ford focus and it is stalling and/or hesitating when going around right turns when the tank is less than 1/4 full. A few days ago it actually died while my wife was driving it. Luckily no one was injured. I have read many complaints regarding this issue on this site and feel a recall should happen from it. Please look into this matter. Thanks.*ak
