My 2010 Ford Focus will frequently experience a very rough idle, and will almost stall while stationary. This happens almost immediately after slowing down. My local Ford dealer seems to be aware of the problem, they said they can replace my throttle body with an "updated version that doesn't stick". If this is a systematic safety problem, a recall should be issued.
The incident occurred on 9/1/2011 at about 3:00 pm. Traffic was light and weather was dry and sunny. We had been driving about 3 â½ to 4 hours when the problem began. While driving the posted speed limit in ohio on I-75 southbound just south of mile marker 99 the car started behaving like I was out of gas even though I had at least a half tank left. It started to stall as I pulled it to the shoulder of the road. As I got it stopped I noticed smoke/steam coming from under the hood. I attempted to open the hood latch inside the car but was unable to. My wife and I exited the car and went to the front where she noticed it was on fire. We immediately called 911 for help. The fire department and ohio state troopers arrived and attempted to put the fire out. The car was totally destroyed as the fire completely engulfed the car. The vehicle was never modified from stock and was maintained as required.
The contact owns a 2010 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the ignition wiring was exposed and would cause the third cylinder to misfire. The vehicle would also stall while driving 10 mph. The vehicle restarted immediately, but the contact had to continuously apply pressure to the accelerator pedal due to the loss of the third cylinder. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the wiring was chewed by a rodent, resulting in the stalling. The vehicle was repaired by replacing the exposed wiring. There was no recall for this failure. The manufacturer was notified, and stated that it was up to the dealer whether or not to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 25,000.
The contact owns a 2010 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. After a few minutes, the vehicle restarted and began to drive as normal. The dealer diagnosed that there was a sensor failure inside of the engine. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 15,000.
Focus would lose rpm's when idling, would almost stall. Took to dealership and they first said it was due to tank being topped off and said it was corrected. Problems still existed so took back 2 more times and finally said it was a sensor. Replaced and worked fine for couple of years. Now it is having same problem, seems the sensor for the idle is not made very well. Have appointment scheduled to take in for repairs.
