Once I was at the light and my Ford Focus 2003 turned off. I have no ideas why. I had to start it again and it had no problem turning on again. It has reached its 60,000 mark and I am wondering if I should go ahead and give $600 for the maintenance? I am just worried about what might happen while I am driving. This has happened twice so far. I am a college student so I use my car a lot to commute to campus.

I thought it was maybe the air conditioning, but I don' think so, since it wasn't on the first time it turned off. :(

Any advice you can share is welcome. Should I spend that much money on maintenance and this turns out to be another problem? Should I look for another car? --This car was bought brand-new in 2003, which is its' make, so I don't understand why it can't last longer if that is the problem.
