NHTSA Complaint #10356908 — 2002 FORD FOCUS

I OWN A 2002 FORD FOCUS ZX5 WAGON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANTLY WHILE I'M DRIVING, REGARDLESS IF I'M PRESSING ON THE BRAKE OR NOT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL IF THEY ARE CONSTANTLY ON. THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL ON THE 2000 FORD FOCUS ON A DECKLID WIRE HARNESS, HOWEVER THIS SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL THE FORD FOCUS HATCHBACKS/WAGONS AS THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL EVIDENT BEYOND THE 2000 YEAR. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE AUGUST 2010 AND NOW SEPTEMBER 2010 I'VE FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE THE EXACT PROBLEM AS THE RECALL IN THE YEAR 2000 MODELS. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON AT ALL TIMES. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. *TR
