THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS ONLINE OF ISSUES WITH STALLING WHEN THE VEHICLE SWITCHES GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.

UPON REPLACING ORIGINAL FACTORY BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL BULBS I FOUND BOTH THE BULBS AND THE SOCKETS ON BOTH SIDES TO BE BLACKENED AND MELTED; MY FEAR IS ELECTRICAL FIRE.

"TAKATA RECALL" FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY PASSENGER AIRBAG 1 YEAR AGO. THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR ME TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND FORD DEALERS OVER AND OVER BUT NO RESOLUTION. I CAN HAVE SOMEONE RIDE IN THE PASSAGE SEAT FOR FEAR OF DEATH WITH THE AIRBAG ON OR OFF. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE THEY CAN'T COME UP WITH A REMEDY AFTER A YEAR!
