Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD TAURUS WITH ADJUSTABLE PEDALS. THE CAR WAS SERVICED PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH RECALL CAMPAIGN 01V078000. SHORTLY AFTER THIS REPAIR, THE BRAKE SWITCH WAS CONTAMINATED WITH GREASE CAUSING THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH TO BE STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION DISABLING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND CAUSING THE STOP LAMPS TO STAY ON. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND WAS AGAIN FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IN ESSENCE, THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 01V078000 APPARENTLY WAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED AS THE PROBLEM AS REOCCURRED NOT ONCE BUT TWICE SINCE THE REPAIRS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ORIGINAL RECALL.*AK
