Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL SEEMS TO SPIN EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE, AS WELL AS A MAJOR SPIN EVERY SIX MONTHS, PERHAPS YEAR NOW. EVEN NEW, VEHICLE HAD A TYPE OF ELECTRICAL "RESET", A MESSAGE WOULD SHOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE LANGUAGE HAS BEEN RESET.., ET CETERA. THE VEHICLE NOW WILL SHOW "CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE" LIGHT AS WELL AS A LANGUAGE RESET. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO A DIFFERENT "SET", OR IDEA..., PERHAPS A FOREIGN ELECTRICAL INVOLVEMENT IS MY UPFRONT CONCERN. WHEN I TRY AND SIMPLY INQUIRY FORD REGARDING THIS,... IT IS FOR SURE WHEN IT HAPPENS... (SOMEHOW). FORD AT THE DEALERSHIP APPEARS NOT TO NOTICE ANYTHING, AS IF IT IS FINE..., THAT EVEN BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 1000 MILES ON IT, THEY DID NOT SEE ANY CONCERN. I HAD BROUGHT IT UP TO THEM MANY TIMES, BUT THINGS GET A LITTLE 'WIND', OR WHIRLEY,... LIKE IT HAS A CAP, OR AN ODD MISCHIEF TO IT. I'M WORRIED THAT SOME DAY, WHILE WITH IT, OR NEEDING IT, THAT IT WILL HAVE THAT "LIGHTS OUT" PROBLEM, WHERE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE "KILLED" IT, OR IT IS A LITTLE DARK TO EVEN BRING UP TO PEOPLE. (IKE) IKO, IKE, IKZ MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN, IT SHOWS BEFORE STARTING IT. IT SEEMS THAT FORD DOES NOT SEE THIS WITH WHAT THEY SEE, OR WITH THEIR EYES, BUT IT HAS BEEN A BOTHERSOME THOUGHT,.. WASHING MOTOR APPEARS TO BE LOST ALREADY AT A LOW MILEAGE, AND I AM FIGURING, THAT SINCE IT IS NEW, THAT THIS IS TO BLAME. 1C1C1CCC 1C1C1CCCCC 1C1C1CCC 1C1C1C1CCC 1C1C1C1C
