We bought this car used, after we got it we noticed the fuel gauge was broke, there's something wrong with the brakes, and there are numerous other problems that worry me. We have small children to think about so the safety of this vehicle is very important. It has a good battery, but it's always dying after being driven. We have taken it to the dealer several times but they have yet to fix it. I don't know that…

Gas pedal sticks in cold weather when first putting car in gear and stepping on gas pedal. If you pump the gas pedal a few times after starting the car, the problem seems to disappear for the length of time you drive the vehicle. This problem could cause an accident if the above procedure is not taken. *tr

I was driving home with my three boys when our 2005 ford focus started jerking and sputtering, lost power, and died on some railroad tracks. My husband and i had it towed to goodyear where they said the fuel pump fuse blew. They replaced the fuse and sent us on our way. Not even a half hour later the fuse blew again. We had it towed back to goodyear where they replaced the fuel pump and filter. Not even a week later…
