Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR SEVERAL YEARS.THE CAR SUDDENLY LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEPLETED. ONCE JUMP STARTED THE CAR WILL THEN OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED ONCE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED BY MECHANICS SEVERAL TIMES, NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. WE OFTEN TIMES SMELL A BURNT PLASTIC ODOR JUST BEFORE THE FAILURES. THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIME OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS, EVEN DURING WARRANTY. FORD DID NOTHING FOR US. *TT
