I have a 2005 Ford Focus zx5 with 19,000 miles on it that I purchases on 2-16-2006. I had not had any problems until 2-22-2006. My son was driving the car and his grandmother was in the car with him an he tried to stop at a stop light, when he hit the brakes the car did not slow down. He pumped the brakes 3-4 times and then jammed on them. When he jammed on them the car slip into the vehicle in front of him. When our car stopped the engine was racing. He turned the car off. We tried to start the car a couple of other times at the scene of the accident but the motor would still race until the police officer opened the hood. This caused front end damage to our Focus and damage to the vehicle he hit. The other vehicle also had a personal injury that was reported later. There has been not corrective action done to this point.
