Hello Readers,
Ford Focus
1600 Ambiente 5 dr Wagon build 2001During driving, there is a sudden loss of power and the speedometer drops to zero. Loss of power is for seconds. (10-15 ???). Speedometer stays on zero for a bit longer. Frequency is rear. (Between 1st and 2nd occurence there where 4 weeks en several hundreds of km. But the frequency is increasing, now it's once a week around 150 km).
I am not the driver and haven't counted the seconds or the real frequency. My wife is getting very nervous with the car. Seen some other reports in this group of about the same symptoms, but not the same car.
The car has been to a Ford workshop, but there was no readout from the computer and the testdrive did not give any results. There reasoning is if the do not have a readout or the problem during the testdrive they do not know what to fix.
Does anybody know what problem can cause these symptoms ? Does anybody have advise or suggestions ? What to tell the Ford workshop to get the problem fixed ?
Thanks for your time and attention, Ben Brugman
