Consumer Description

IN 2004 VEHICLE'S IGNITION KEY LOCK FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY. VEHICLE IS TOWED TO FORD AUTHORIZED REPAIR AND THEY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN 2006 VEHICLE'S IGNITION KEY LOCK FAILS AGAIN. VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO FORD AUTHORIZED REPAIR AND CORRECTED AGAIN. BOTH TIMES I WAS LEFT STRANDED SINCE THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO START THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. VEHICLE'S DASH LIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. SEVERAL TIMES DURING NIGHTIME DRIVING THE LIGHTS FAIL. VEHICLE'S DOOR POWER DOOR LOCKS AND TRUNK LOCKS FAIL AND CANNOT BE OPENED WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. A FUSE CONTINUES TO FAIL POSSIBLY DUE TO A SHORT IN THE WIRING SYSTEM. *NM
