Filed Feb 15, 2018 · Fuel system · 79,000 miles · FL

The car cuts off in the middle of driving. I took it to a mechanic he said was the fuel pump. I took it for asecond opinion this mechanic said was a module for the fuel pump. He also a car same make and model with the exact same problem. I did am internet search and it was too many cars with this same problem. There should be a recall. My car cut off in the middle of the highway.

2005 ford focus will not start when the weather turns cold or will start but for no apparent resin just stops running no fuel pressure and fuel pump does not run when the problem arises when the weather turns worm the car starts and runs fine does not display any engine fault coeds. From what I have read this seems to be a ford problem that doesn't won't to except.

I'm having problems with the car hesitating while driving. This has repeatedly happened. I have a little over 90,300 miles on the car. It really scares me when I'm going at least 60 MPH on the highway and press the gas to accelerate and then get the hesitation or pullback as if it is going to cut off. I'm afraid it is going to cut off while I am driving it. It also happens when I'm driving 35 MPH. When this happens and I cut the car and start it back up, the clock resets to 12:00 and the radio comes on blasting. My lights flicker when it happens at night. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the fuel pump module. This has not helped one bit and I am out $462. They have quoted me a price of $1500 if the fuel pump module replacement did not work. They tell me it will probably be the PCM that needs replacing.

I was driving home with my three boys when our 2005 ford focus started jerking and sputtering, lost power, and died on some railroad tracks. My husband and I had it towed to goodyear where they said the fuel pump fuse blew. They replaced the fuse and sent us on our way. Not even a half hour later the fuse blew again. We had it towed back to goodyear where they replaced the fuel pump and filter. Not even a week later the fuse blew again. We let the car sit for a few days trying to figure out what to do. My husband decided to replace the fuse himself and drive it to see what it would do. Well, the car lost power and shut down completely over another set of railroad tracks. We called goodyear to bring it back, and they refused; so we had it towed to another mechanic. This mechanic has again replaced the fuel pump and told us the system was filthy! The fuel pump jerked dramatically when he'd start it, which is why he replaced it again. The computer is still saying the module is bad; so he ordered a new one from ford, who at first claimed they didn't know what he was talking about. They wouldn't even tell him where it was located; so when he receives the part, he'll have to figure it out. We don't know how much this is going to cost now. With goodyear it already cost us $600, which they refuse to reimburse. I've called ford, and they refuse to help saying there's no recall on this model. I've looked this specific problem up, and the fuel pump and system has been recalled on all ford focuses from 2000-2004. My car was built in 2004! Somebody please help us! If we didn't owe money on it, we'd junk it. Thank god we were not on the freeway when this happened! And thank god my kids are big enough to help us push it off the railroad tracks!

With less then a 1/4 tank of fuel the car will stall when changing lanes, making left hand turns. The fuel pump is making grinding noises.
