ECU Failed in my 5 year old Ford Focus. My Ford Focus cost me 1200 Euro to replace the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and ignition coil. Two cylinders only would fire so I barely got it to the repair guy. He said the coil may have pulled down the ECU output on two cylinders and so it damaged the ECU.
My 1993 honda prelude is still going perfectly at 100,000 miles with nothing like the Ford repair bills!!! A honda civic will replace my Ford focus for sure.

Focus SE V6
I have owned many Fords in my life time. I have never had ANY problems with any of them except for this last one. My 2001 Ford Focus has been a decent car up to the last 5 months. I am so sick of dealing with people telling me that they can not figure out what the problem is. This last place told me they believe it is the computer and that it isn't even a guarantee it would fix the problem. So I am at my rits in with this car. I called Ford Manufacture and told them everything that is going on and they basically told me that I am S.O.L., they also told me that if I wanted them to check into it further that everyone who is having problems with their 2001 Ford Focus needs to call and complain to them like I did. They said that doing it on Car Complaints will not do anything,.
I am asking for all of your help. We all know with todays economy it is nearly impossible for my family to get a new car. So I have to rely on other people to take me to work or bring me home. I don't have the ability to go and come as I please. I almost feel like a child again. IT FLIPPIN SUCKS. I AM GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ASK FOR YOUR HELP AGAIN PLEASE PLEASE CALL FORD MANUFACTURE AND TELL THEM YOUR PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEIR NUMBER IS 1-800-392-3673. Thank you for all of you for taking the time to read this and please again help call them and let them know so we can get something done about these problems.
