Consumer Description

THE KNOB TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHT BROKE OFF. IT SEEMS TO BE MADE OF PLASTIC THAT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH. NOW IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. WE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE 2000 MODEL AND FORD HAD A RECALL ON THE 2000 MODEL. WE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 MODEL. MAYBE SOME OF THE FAULTY KNOBS WERE INSTALLED ON SOME OF THE 2001 MODELS AND THOSE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS WELL SINCE IT'S THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR
