| Vehicle was being driven on a maryland secondary road and the entire lighting system failed. the car continued to operate but with no headlights, running lights or interior lights. basically it forced us to find a quick safe pull off using a flashlight for vision. tomorrow the car is receiving a complete diagnostic check to determine the fault. it seems the lighting controls seem to be a problem as the battery and alternator checked out fine. this is a major life safety finding and needs to be addressed by ford now with the number of htese vehicles on the road. | |||

| The blower fan of the heater & defroster failed to operate. windshield frost on the outside and fog on the inside could not be removed thus making driving very hazardous. after several days the problem resolved itself but reoccurred every year or two. i researched the problem recently during the last failure (2/6/2011) and feel strongly that the intermittent failing part is the blower motor speed controller, part number xw1h-19e624-ab. fortunately, the motor and blower will operate (for now) after i hit it a couple times with a hammer. several web sites describe this part including photos. removal and installation. if this item has not been recalled as a safety issue, i think it should be. | |||
