Description of the problem	I purchased 2006 ford focus zx3 in may of 2006. It was a brand new car with only 8 miles on it. When i purchased the car it was very loud and rough. I thought it was because it was new and needed some time to be driven. After three and half years nothing has changed. I called ford companyand was told to take it to ford dealer. (i took it to ford dealership and told them what the problem was. I also stated that it stops shifting into 4th gear and will not shift up if i have to accelerate quickly. The dealer info: ford bredemann 2038 waukegan road glenview, il 60025 (847) 510-5585). I left the car for about a week and when i came to pick it up i was told that engine and transmission were on good condition. There are some things that needed to be changed like tires.. Etc.. However, i have had instances on the road where i almost could have ended up killed just because the car wont accelerate. It happened to me about two weeks ago. 2nd problem is steering wheel. It is so stiff that its hard to turn it left and right. I feel like it is so unsafe for me to drive this car.. Not just unsafe for me but for other drivers on the road was well.
