Consumer Description

I AM NOT ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2002 FORD TAURUS, BUT AT A DIFFERENT TRIM LEVEL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VIN AND THAT NO REPAIR RELATED TO THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WAS EVER DONE BY A FORD DEALERSHIP. I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IF MY 2002 TAURUS SE WAS MANUFACTURED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE RECALLED VEHICLES. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL (04S12) BUT MY MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. WAS IT DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OR DEFECTIVE LABOR? *TR
