I replaced a rear tail light bulb that was not working and found that the socket appeared to have sustained damage from an overheat condition. This caused the new bulb to not fit securely in the socket and not make solid contact. I checked the other tail light and found the same condition. Both sockets were discolored, brown to black near the bulb, apparently from being over heated. Several days later i replaced the…

Insurance believes it is a warranty claim as the car is still under warranty; ford will not honor this as a warranty claim.

As i was making a left turn after stopping at a stop sign, the steering wheel locked as i was midway through the turn. I could not move the steering wheel at all. I was able to stop the car thus avoiding a crash. At the suggestion of the motorist behind me who stopped to ask what the problem was, i then turned off the engine and restarted the car. The steering then worked. A day later, as i was driving at night, the…

Low beams dangerously inadequate. Low beams illuminate a pattern of only 18 ft. In front of vehicle. At 25 miles per hour a vehicle travels 36.6 feet per second, which means the driver has less then a half of one second to react to anything in or on side of the road. Had the vehicle to the dealer twice regarding this but not until the salesman and service manager took a night time ride did they believe my complaint.…
