Description of the problem	Just purchased a 2007 ford focus hatchback two weeks ago. It had 29,000 miles on it. Hardly driven. I drove an hour away from my home, yesterday,two weeks after purchasing it. The radio went black, all lights and gauges followed. I was able to drive it approx. 2 miles to a truck stop, before the car died, and i called for roadside assistance. After realizing that it's probably the alternator, i did a search online and realized that many people have dealt with this exact same issue in the exact same type of car, around the same mileage. Nothing has been done by ford to correct this issue and i think they should. I was on a busy highway with my girlfriend and her 9 year old daughter, who was terrified of the whole situation of being stranded in the dark at night. I have also learned that people have needed to replace the alternator in these cars more than one time, after the initial episode. I had to have my car towed and it cost me $100. I haven't even made my first monthly payment on this car yet !!! Now im looking at spending anywhere from $400-$700 to fix a car that i purchased, less than 3 weeks ago. Had there been a recall from ford on this, i would either have never had to deal with it, or i could have taken the car in when i purchased it and had it serviced, free of charge. I know that there are plenty of complaints about it on the internet to constitute a recall. I hope this helps in getting that done. Where do i stand, if a recall is announced after i have spent the money to rectify the situation myself??

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
