Similar to NHTSA campaign number 18v735000, I've experienced many occurrences where the vehicle stalls when coming to a stop. This is far more likely to occur if the gas tank is less than half full. The first instance of this was around 2011, but has happened much more frequently since then. When this occurs, the vehicle decelerates, comes to a complete stop, and then then engine cuts out, dropping the rpms down to 0. This then requires the driver to put the car into park, turn off the car, turn the car back on, and then return the car to gear.
I have just acquired this vehicle in oct or Sep of 2018. It has been a pretty good car up until now. The airbag light comes on and off intermittently and now the engine light is on. My mechanic checked why the engine light was on with his computer and has said it's a fuel issue. I take it back to him on Thursday to go over the fuel system and engine to better diagnose the issue. In the meantime, I've been looking up various complaints and issues with my 2007 Ford Focus and not stating the specific issues and the two main complaints and recalls that keep coming upstate that there have been numerous airbags and fuel system issues. These are both the issues I'm having. The airbags light keeps coming on and off without the system being reset. The engine light is on and hasn't gone off. It came on when my husband filled the tank up about 3-4 weeks ago. The only reason we've not had my mechanic look at is due to income. I'm disabled, my husband is in the process of retiring in September and he was injured on the job and has been out for about 5 months. I wouldn't have even looked on the internet to see if there were recalls but we're making a trip to durham in July and need a reliable vehicle and are concerned about the engine catching fire or not getting the fuel needed. Please let me know if this has been any safety issues with this make and model of car. Thank you.
Upper portion of gas tank completely rusted through.
