I HAVE A FULLY LOADED 2000 MERCURY SABLE LS THAT HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS AUTOMATIC ON HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING LIGHTS. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. STRANGE, THE PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON BUT NO HEADLIGHTS. THIS MORNING I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A ROCK TRUCK. TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND THEY COME BACK ON. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU MANUALLY TURN THE SWITCH THEY WILL COME BACK ON. THIS COULD RESULT IN A MAJOR INCIDENT IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I'M DRIVING ALONG A 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW. *TR

I HAVE NOW HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON MY CAR REPLACED TWICE. ON JULY 23, 2002 WHILE ON VACATION IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STUCK ON. I HAD TO DRIVE OVER 100 MILES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS MORNING (9/18/02) ON MY WAY TO DROP OFF MY CHILDREN AT SCHOOL, A PASSENGER IN ANOTHER VEHICLE FLAGGED ME DOWN AND TOLD ME I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PART. THANK YOU.*AK

I PURCHASED NEW, AND STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE. AT 27083 MILES, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION. BILL DUBE FORD OF DOVER, NH REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FREE OF ALL COSTS TO ME UNDER RECALL NOTICE # 01S08. AT 45395 MILES THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AGAIN STUCK IN THE ON POSITION. HOWEVER, BRIGHTON FORD-MERCURY OF BRIGHTON, MI REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE CLAIMING THAT, SINCE THE SWITCH HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE, FORDS ONLY RESPONSIBILITY WAS TO WARRANT THE REPLACED SWITCH FOR A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED 12000 MILES OR 12 MONTHS. AS A CONSEQUENCE, I PAID $63.33 TO HAVE THE SWITCH REPLACED. BASED ON THE FACT THAT ALL THREE SWITCHES, IE., THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT SWITCH, AND BOTH REPLACEMENT SWITCHES HAD IDENTICAL PART NUMBERS (YF1Z*13480*AA) HOW CAN I BE ASSURED THAT: 1) FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND/OR THE SUPPLIER OF THE SWITCH EVER MADE ANY ATTAMPT TO REDESIGN THE SWITCH. WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER, THERE COULD BE THOUSANDS OF DEFECTIVE SWITCHES STILL IN THE MARKETPLACE. 2) THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH, CURRENTLY INSTALLED, WILL NOT FAIL IN APPROX. 25000 MILES JUST AS THE FIRST TWO SWITCHES FAILED. 3) THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, WILL NOT BE IN JEOPARDY EVERY 27000 MILES BECAUSE OF A REAR-END COLLISION RESULTING FROM SOMEONE'S MISTAKEN IDENTITY OF THE CONSTANTLY ON BRAKE LIGHTS FOR RUNNING LIGHTS, 4) WHY FORD MOTOR COMPANY, OR ANY AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER, IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF REPLACING PARTS INVOLVED IN A RECALL UNTIL A PERMANENT FIX IS FOUND?

LEFT OUT OF DRIVEWAY WENT TWO BLOCKS PARKED CAR FRONT OF FRIENDS HOUSE, TWO HOURS LATER I PROCEEDED TO LEAVE. STARTED THE CAR APPLIED MY BRAKE PEDAL AND GOT READY TO SHIFT IN GEAR WHEN IT DIDN'T MOVE EVEN THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE WOULDN'T GO IN, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOWING TRUCK. TOWING TRUCK CAME AND SAID THAT IT MIGHT BE SOME SWITCH ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM BECAUSE HE TOWED AT LEAST 4 THAT SAME WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO THE BRAKES LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON . THIS POSES AS A DANGER BECAUSE IF A PERSON IS DRIVING AND YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF DRIVE THE ONLY THING YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IS STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES AND KEEP HOLDING THE BRAKE UNTIL YOU GET HELP YOU CAN ONLY HOLD THE BRAKES FOR SO LONG.*AK
