| Brake light switch at pedal faulty with same symptoms as recall nhtsa i.d. # 04v10600...brake lights won't activate when pedal depressed while driving or parked and when parked transmission range selector is stuck in park position. these symptoms could cause an accident from the rear and or leave family members stranded. curiously this recall doesn't list the recalled switches part number and certainly ford motors won't admit that a few were installed on 2004 models. *tr | |||
