What owners wrote
I am wondering what action I can take next. I own a brand new 2010 ford focus purchased in feb 2010. The car has a terrible smell on the inside, I have taken it back to the dealer where I purchased it and all they did was spray something in the car and send us home. The smell is so bad that all I can do is back the car out of my garage open the doors and windows and after doing that for several hours a day I drive it back into my garage to sit.
My yellow wench check engine light came on,I was stopped at a 4 way city intersection and when I stepped on the gas pedal the car would not pick up any speed. I was stuck with traffic behind me. I had to go through the intersection at idle speed pull off the road, turn the car off and wait a few seconds then restart it.
