whoareyou Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hi, I have a 2001 Ford Focus. Since ive had it (nov '09) on two occasions iv had a slight dip in power and despite travelling at 40mph, both speedometer and rev counter registered 0! This lasted for a couple of hundred meters and rectified itself. However last night i was travelling at around 50mph and it happened again. Only this time i lost complete power, rolling to a standstill. Also ALL instruments failed AND the headlights turned off! All warning lights came on and thankfully i was able to roll to a standstill. If i was on the motorway, God knows what could have happened! Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Or anyone know a reason for this happening? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers you need a new vssvehicle speed sensor that connects to the gearbox as almost every thing is interlinked the vss is telling the car that you arent moving when you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
