2002 ZX5 Ford Focus has shudder and dash lights are on?

Asked by DoraP Oct 30, 2014 at 01:34 PM about the 2002 Ford Focus ZX5

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2002 ZX5 ford focus has had a rough idle and a vibration. It has 150,000+ miles. I had it diagnosed at the ford dealer but nothing showed up. They said that these little cars were bad about doing this when they got a lot miles on them. They also said the vibration could be coming from the automatic transmission but it is shifting fine. Today on the way home it started shaking really bad and the oil light and the sun with the ! in it came on. Can you tell me what is wrong?

Mine idles rough and varies the RPM when the air filter is dirty, even slightly dirty.

I have a 2013 Ford focus SE HATCHBACK that has the recalls on the transmission, I took it to the local dealer as we have begun experiencing the shudder and loss of power and the dealer just called stating it is the actuators which of course are not under the recall and said it is going to cost $2,500 and that it may not fix the problems and may have to be brought back of the shudder isn't fixed. I don't have that kind of money laying around and do not know what to do or if they are trying to rip me off which to me is what it sounds like. HElp!!!!! 10 Answers
