I CONTACTED FORD ON 01/30/01 IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA'S RECALL #88V118000. EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ARE IDENTICAL TO THOSE MENTIONED ON YOUR SITE, FORD SAID MY VIN WAS NOT AFFECTED. I EXPLIANED TO THEM THAT MY PROBLEMS WERE IDENTICAL AND I WANTED THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE DEFICIENCIES. FORD REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS; BRAKE WARNING LIGHT,,NO BRAKE PRESSURE,,TURN SIGNALS INOPERATIVE, AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL AND FAN INOPERATIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISITANCE, JEFF CRANE.*AK

VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART AFTER MAKING A LONG TRIP. BATTERY HAD ENOUGH POWER. VEHICLE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE TO COOL OFF BEFORE VEHICLE CAN RESTART, USUALLY WAITING ABOUT 7 HOURS. CONSUMER HAS BEEN TO NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS, AND DEALERS, BUT NO ONE COULD DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *AK
