Focus Woes

[newfocusman]

i hope someone can help, but i have an feb06 build Pure Silver LS LX hatch, this last friday, i was cruising along the freeway in the fastlane with cruise on (as you do) but when i came to disengage cruise (b/c of a new speed limit) the little red light came on accompanied with beeping and the imformaton centre readout displayed -engine management fault. WOW i here you say BUT, the car immediatley lost power and i thought it would be in 'limp home mode' allowing me to accelerate, but no- it died. all with a semi just a couple of car lengths behind with no right hand shoulder- so forced and immediate left accross 3 lanes to get to shoulder where it coughed and spluttered and stopped.

Ford cannot find a fault and have 'sent request to HO' is the response. i feel it is unsafe and put me into a clear danger zone.

AS well i am told it is quiet common for this model to be hard to start on occassion, which mine has 4 times. apparently it is on the fix list within FORD. Apparently it already appears in updated manual for the car (pg 114)- so it is a known fault.
i find this unacceptable for a 6 month old car with 10,000klm on the clock.

it has now just started to exibit the creaks as it goes over he driveway, speedhumps. it just the suspension or something else
