Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: As in nhtsa campaign id # 03v482000, my 2001 ford focus stalls when the fuel tank is less than 1/3 full, the vehicle is accelerating, and turning to the right. ford will not fix the problem because they claim to have reached a solution on vehicles assembled after june 13, 2001. my vehicle was assembled june 19, 2001. since it exhibits the same symptoms, they had not corrected the problem by june 13, 2001. according to nhtsa documents ford didn't start installing redesigned fuel pumps until sometime in 2004. nhtsa should require ford to extend the program to all focus vehicles that used the poorly designed fuel pump and display failure symptoms. *nm |
