Ford Focus Xreg cutting out when turning

[bigtone]

Does any one know of a problem with the Ford Focus cutting out? My 70 year old father has a Xreg 1400cc which has cut out 4 time on him but only when turning a corner This is very frightning for him as he loses power strearing and brakes The car will then start with the key??

is it diesel at all? The focus c-max diesels have a fault with the EGR valve that causes engine to cut.

Have you received an answer yet?
I have the same problem exactly - the car starts with the key after losing power when turning a corner.

I received this from the following website:
"Problem of all Focus models suddenly losing power seems to be due to the failure of the 'fly by wire' electronic throttle sensor."

Try these, they reckon it's a new Vehicle Speed Sensor. cost about �30 and same to fit. Good luck!
