TRANSAXLE WILL NOT ENGAGE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. L/F BRAKE PAD STAYS PARTIALLY ENGAGED RESULTING IN PREMATURE WEARING OF SAID PAD; LUCKILY, I WAS COMING TO A SLOW STOP WHEN IT GAVE OUT COMPLETELY. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT ANALYZED UNTIL MY SECOND FRONT BRAKE JOB WITHIN 25 0R SO MONTHS. WITH WIPERS IN USE, ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL IN EITHER DIRECTION CAUSES THE WIPERS TO STOP.THIS TENDS TO BRING ON A SLIGHT SENSE OF PANIC DURING A HEAVY RAIN. LIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AT MY EXPENSEAS HAVE ALL OTHER BEFORE MENTIONED PROBLEMS EXCEPT THE WIPER ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR 4 MONTHS AND CAN'T AFFORD FIXING THIS INCONVENIENCE. *AK

THE WIPERS COMPLETELY FAIL IN HEAVY RAIN, BUT WHEN THEY DO WORK, THEY SWIPE ONCE OR TWICE AND THEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD WEBSITE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE. REPAIRS TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM ARE TOO COSTLY FOR ME TO UNDERTAKE, AS THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL MUST BE PULLED OUT TO CORRECT PROBLEM, A PROBLEM THAT FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.
