| After my car was running for about ten minutes all the lights on the instrument cluster came on and stayed on. this was just the beginning, after shutting the car off and starting it back it began to do the same thing so we took it up to a mechanic to run a computer on it and it did come up for the cluster. then when we were going to unload it off the trailor my car would completely not crank up because of the cluster. then once again after being replaced only seven months ago it has started messing up again!! this car has been a complete disappointment so i began to call around and found out there has been many other problems similar to mine other people have reported but still there have been absolutely no recalls for any of the problems occurring on these cars!!! | |||

| Customer was traveling on roadway when he noticed smoke. pulled over and opened hood to have smoke billow out. inspection of vehicle by independent appraiser shows there is a defective ground strap that caused loss. this appraiser has seen 2 of these losses in the past week with same ignition source. ford motor co customer service would not provide any assistance in reporting this problem so that this can be avoided for other people. *tr | |||
