HAVE TO TURN ENGINE OFF, START, THEN PUT INTO GEAR, BUT BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DON'T USUALLY WORK. TRIED TO HAVE FORD DEALER REPAIR UNDER RECALL (04V10600 OR 04S12, RELATED TO 1S08?), BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER & FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VIN. PAID DEALER TO REPLACE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND WIRING. CONCERNED AS BOTH FAILURE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR & BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE HAVE LEFT THE DRIVER STRANDED & AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND PROBABLY MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL. REPAIR COST 158.61. *TR |
