SAID CAR HAD DEFECTS ALMOST AS SOON AS WE PURCHASED IT, WE NOTICED IT HAD 2 DIFFERENT EMBLAMS ON THE FENDERS AND THEY HAD TO RUN THE VIN# SO THEY COULD FIND OUT WHICH IT WAS. THE CAR STARTED LEAKING WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THEY WORKED ON IT 3 TIMES TO NO PREVAIL(STILL LEAKS) THE DASH HAS BOWED UP AT THE WINDSHIELD AND AT THE PANEL BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS SMOKED UP, HEATER SWITCH ONLY WORKS ON HIGH SETTING, PASS. SIDE FRONT WINDOW FELL OUT OF DOOR TRACK WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, SPEAKER BUSTED, CARPET RUINED BECAUSE OF LEAKS. BLANCETTS HAD ALL OF THESE PARTS ORDERED FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND THEY STILL DID NOT GET ALL OF THEM IN, AN D FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS CLOSED THEM DOWN. I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF THE REASONS FOR CLOSING THEM, BUT THEY HAD TROUBLE ONCE...

HEATER CONTROL SWITCH WILL NOT WORK ON NORMAL SETTING BUT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU PUT IT ON HIGH AND THAT IS RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF POWER OR DECREASING POWER IN THE ALTERNATOR. *AK
