ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. THIS MEANT I HAD NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, AND NO CONTROL.THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN WHEN I USED THE STARTER. CAR ACTED NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING OCCURRED.THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. IF IT HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR THE INTERSTATE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SO REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACTION. FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION EITHER. I FEEL THE CARE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL SOME COREECTIVE ACTION IS TAKEN. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT, DO NOT PROJECT BEAM OF 365 FEET IN FRONT OF CAR, LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP. DRIVER'S LICENSE PLATE IN FRONT, EVEN WITH HIGH BEAMS, A PADESTRIAN WAS CROSSING AND LIGHTS COULDN'T EVEN SEE HIM, AND CONSUMER ALMOST HIT PADESTRIAN. HIGH BEAMS GIVE OFF THE LIGHT THAT REGULAR BEAMS SHOULD. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED THEM ALL 3 THREE TIMES TO FORD'S JUSTIFACATION. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER THAT BEAM WASNOT HIGH ENOUGH. CONSUMER THOUGHT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND A HIGH RISK AT NIGHT. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A STRESS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD ON MY CAR. WHILE IN FLORIDA I HAD A LARGE LINE START RUNNING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE MIDDLE AND THEN ACCROSS TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE WAS NO CRACK OR CHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WINDSHIELD. IT CREATED A VISION PROBLEM AS IT KEPT FLICKERING LIGHT. THIS CONDITION WAS WORSE AT NIGHT. THE FORD DEALER IN KISSIMMEE TOLD ME HE HAD A LOT OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS STRESS. HE COULD NOT REPLACE IT AS FORD WOULD GIVE HIM A HARD TIME. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THIS. THE DRIVING AT NIGHT WAS WORSE AS THE FLICKERING BECAME A SERIES OF BLUE AND WHITE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A GLASS COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A CRACK ANYWHERE. THEY SAID IT WAS A STRESS PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO NASSAR FORD IN LAWRENCE, MASS AND THEY CALLED FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHEILD. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THESE WINDSHIELDS AT ANY DEALER FOR THERE CUSTOMERS AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO A DRIVER. *AK
