1999 FORD E-350 Electrical System Problems

TO TRY AND CREAT A CLASS ACTION SUITE, WOULD BE WAY TO EXPENSIVE. WHERE IS HELP? CONSUMERS NEED YOU TO HELP US. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING FORD OVER THE PAST YEAR WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE VAN. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWICE, WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER,...
