Consumer Description

THE MAJORITY OF THE INSULATION ON THE WIRING OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAS BECOME VERY BRITTLE. WHENEVER A WIRE IS TOUCHED THE INSULATION FALLS OFF. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE BECAUSE SOME OF THE WIRES COME DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY. IN THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY OR REPERSENTATIVE AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. AT THE PRESENT I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE, I WILL AS SOON AS I CAN. THE WIRING NEEDS TO BE LOOK AT BY SOME ONE. TEN YEARS IS NOT LONG, ACTUALLY IT WAS SEVEN YEARS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE INSULATION PROBLEM. *JB
