so my new (used) car...it's a 2000 but is new to me is turning into a
nightmare. i was soooooo excited when i first got this car...it is
totally me. its a ford focus kona edition so it's a rare color and has
a rack, truely unique. i was stoked that i had an alarm now...power
windows...power door locks...no more hubcaps falling off because i have
rims SWEET. im easily pleased i guess. im quickly learning my life
lesson though...whatever seems to good to be true, normally is. the
list of problems with this car is quickly growing larger with every
passing day. the first, my key wouldn't come out of the egnition
sometimes...but magically that works now. the second, it shuttered in
reverse like it was going to stall, but that fixed itself as well.
then, a plastic piece broke in the window system and now my window is
taped up, can't roll up or down...2oo dollars to fix. next, my brakes
started grinding every so often, and grinding HARD...great need new
rotors. what else? as if that wasn't enough. about a week ago my car
stalled at 70 mph in the fast lane, yup engine just shut off...pretty
scary. coasted over to the side of the freeway and eventually my car
decided to work again. found out it was a recalled fuel pump that was
to blame and ford fixed it for free...hooray!!!!...problems over right?
WRONG??? the other day on the way to work my car wasn't automatically
changing gears on the freeway running above 5rpms on the gage at 60
mph, soooo not normal. however when i got off, it was fine. and
now...now my check engine light decided to come on soooooooooo yah...im
just a lil' upset that my upgrade is such a DOWNGRADE! is there anyone
out there that knows anything about fords???!?!?!?!?!?!?!????
