It is a 2001 Ford Focus with 50,000 miles. The engine began stalling. We took it to our dealership and they indicated that we had not done anything wrong and that is was just a defective engine.

Engine stalling problem. At a running speed of approx. 45 mph the car started to buck and sputter and after managing to pull it off to the side of the road, it finally stalled. After letting it sit for a few minutes I was able to start it and drive it on without incident. The problem has occurred before back in September of this year. It is my hope that the NHTSA will have Ford recall the car so the problem can be fixed before it causes me to have an accident. I've checked online and apparently I'm not the only one with this particular problem. Please help us all. Sincerely, bill macholdt dt.

I'm from canada ignore the last half of address thanks engine sputtered then stalled would not start. Noticed round silver dome attached to gas line near the firewall under hood was very very hot. The air conditioner was also on just before it stalled. The car would not run right until I cooled off that silver dome thing attached to the gas lines. It was so hot I thought it was going to explode. We left the car alone for about 30 minutes then put cold compress on that silver dome to cool it off. Went to dealer they thought I was nuts. I never use the air conditioner again and in the summer I often stop to cool down that silver dome. This sould be a safety recall before some Focus blows up. Even now the car still idles ruff and stalls when it gets hot using the air conditioner gets the engine even hotter ,the car stalls easier. Dt.
