I think they need to do a recall on this specific part because if it fails, it could cause major accidents and is totally unsafe for the owner and other drivers on the road: article can be found on: http://www.latimes.com/classified/automotive/highway1/la-hy-acura11sep11.story?coll=la%2dclass%2dautos%2dhighway1. nlm  view

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) 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? nlm  view

This car has been too dangerous and unreliable to drive safely..it was sold with 15% brakes left after i was told that it had new brakes and calipers, a complete safety check by joe kerley jeep eagle...some one had put silocone on a broken fuel pump that caused fumes and copious amounts of gasoline to fill under the back seat....the clutch blew up without any notice....the air bag has never deployed even when i had a spin out on highway 101...i told mr brooks about the gas problem and he said he was too busy to deal with it....i have spent over 3,000$ in major repairs and have not even put 20000 miles in almost 3 years...thank you for your help..belinda anne brooks. nlm  view
