Description of the problem | Focus engine would shut off while running or at the stop light/sign, fuel says 50+ before empty but in already out of gas. Focus sometimes would not turn on when it suddenly shuts off. Also would experience lose of power or bad acceleration. Check engine light comes on due to this issue of fuel rail sensor signal. I checked online for other issues regarding ford focus and what i found was quite very interesting. And i also contacted ford about this but they didn't give me any answer about this issue. Only told me sorry, i can understand your frustration, i can help you get a roadside assistance. I told him i am looking for a long time solution and not one day solution for the problem. Ford knows they have a problem but would not acknowledge it. This issue is a manufacturer's (ford) issue and not by consumers. This has to be address and fixed as soon as possible before something bad happen while motorist are driving this car in the middle of the highway and the engine suddenly shuts off! Let's not wait for that to happen. I include some links for you to look at, these are motorist who have issues with ford focus. Https://www. Carcomplaints.
