#1 wire to the brake light switch located on the brake predal broke at the wire to switch connector. The wire loom was mounted to0 short and did not allow for brake pedal travel. The initial problem was for intermitten brake lights. The dealer could not find the problem at which time I trouble shooted the problem my self. With no brake lights the transmission will not come out of park and there was no brake lights when stopping causing a potential accident. Additional wire was added to the factory wiring at the switch connector to allow for brake pedal travel. This could caues potential wireing problems at a lwter date. All repairs were made by self. I am an ase certified mechanic.

Brake switch had a loose wire per gateway lincoln/mercury mechanic and was replaced under warranty. Driver could not shift out of park. No brake lights were operational. Fortunately this did not occur while driving or vehicle would have been stranded in the road or potential rear end collision from failure of brake lights to illuminate while slowing or stopping.
Dome light /trunk light or interior light/ no dashboard light. She stated that lights went off without prior warning. Dealership was aware of the problem.
The brake lights stay on constantly. Lights remain on when the car is off. The brake lights are providing no protection but, no accident has occurred, yet. The repair shop is very familiar with the failure. The shop reported that a few 2000 taurus and sable's have had failures with this part. A car was in the shop waiting for the part for 5 days when my wife brought our car in for repairs. The part is still on backorder from ford, again suggesting a high use item.
After traveling in vehicle at all time brake light would stay on. Dealer was notified to replace brake light switch.
Since may of 2000 there was a problem with the starter system jamming. Consequences of down systems...such as windshield wipers, ABS, traction control, turn signals,A/C and blower. One incident LED to complete shut down of car...dead would not start. Dealer replaced two starters and then one "starter switch'. That failed as well and dealer tried to repair on 9/25/2000 and confessed they could not and that they had conferred with ford before last two repairs and they said ford knew of this problem and didn't expect a fix till 4th qtr.. They told me there is no safety issue here and I question that because my car whent into complete shut down of all systems and dealer couldn't even start it.
When driving betwwen 45 MPH-65 MPH steering will vibrate/ it will shake. Also, vibration can be felt inside the vehicle. Dealer claimed defect was due to tire problem. But, dealer has balanced tires 4 times, and replaced all 4 tires, and vibration still occurs. In addition, brake light has become stuck and will not turn off.
While trying to depress the brake consumer foot get stuck on brake switch. Please provide further information.
The turn signal does not hold in the desired direction while the consumer is turning, the dealer stated that the wheels must be straight, as soon as the direction of the wheels has changed, the signal is cancelled.
