Consumer Description

THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT AND IGNITION ALARM WILL NOT STOP/TURN OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE IGNITION ALARM STOPS ONLY WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED, THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON FOR EXTREME EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE IN 1998 OR 99. VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO CORRECT THEIR DEFECT (12,000 MILE/12MO PERIOD IS UP) EVEN THOUGH IT IS RECURRING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE OUT OF MY WINDOWS.
