Ford has extended the warranty for the fuel delivery system of the 2000 and 2001 Ford Focus for 10 years.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating thousands of reports that the Focus "stalls unpredictably." But Ford has told the federal government a recall is not needed because stalling is not a safety problem.
Stalling is a serious safety defect, said Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen and a former NHTSA administrator.
