2000 Ford Focus se, car was pulling. Felt like a jerking. Car seemed to idle out. If I was to sit at a light for more than 30 secs it cut off. Maybe 2-3 times in one day. I thought it was my transmission again. But my engine was failing . The head gasket was blown. The mechanic said it's from the car over heating. I don't know how that is possible when I literally fill the coolant to max every week to maybe two weeks. I have been doing this for I don't know how long. Seems like since I bought it. Now my car is the stop for and will be there for a week. Cost over $900! I think everyone on this site needs to start a class action suite againts Ford. This car was not ready for release at all. They are playing games with our lives like we are test dummies!.
