Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 90 IN SOUTH DAKOTA WHEN THE ELECTRICAL JUST SHUT OFF AT NIGHT. WE HAD NO POWER, LIGHTS OR STEERING CONTROL GOING 75 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR SINCE WE GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2009. AT THAT SPEED AND WITH NO ONE ABLE TO SEE US DUE TO NO LIGHTING WE BECOME A HAZARD TO OURSELVES AND OTHERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND WHY NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 REPAIR PLACES INCLUDING A FORD DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE WOULD LIKE FORD TO MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR
