I bought my focus used, it had 38,000 miles, on a trip the engine began to act up. It was revving all the way up but would not go above 40 mph. After calling a tow truck the check engine light came on, the dealership that i took it to had it for over a week and had difficulty locating the problem. It started and drove just fine for them. I had the fuel pump and filter replaced, as well as the fuel system flushed.…

I am experiencing problems consistent with ea02-022 concerning vehicle stalling at any speed. Although the car has not yet completely stalled out while driving, it has felt as though it may do so at any time. Numerous repair attempts including replacement of the oxygen sensor and fuel pump have not remedied the problem. As ford recognizes that this is a progressive problem, i have to worry every time that i drive…

The reason some of these are not dated is because the problems keep on persisting they say they can not find out what the problem is. My car dies on me and the can not find the cause. It makes a winding sound when i take off and still they can not find the cause. My gears always wind and as soon as i get it out of the shop about one to two weeks later it is doing it again, when i am driving it jerks like it wants to…
