Focus would lose RPM's when idling, would almost stall. Took to dealership and they first said it was due to tank being topped off and said it was corrected. Problems still existed so took back 2 more times and finally said it was a sensor. Replaced and worked fine for couple of years. Now it is having same problem, seems the sensor for the idle is not made very well. Have appointment scheduled to take in for repairs.
