SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE CONSTANT AND SOME WERE INTERMITTENT. AS A RESULT OF THE LOCKING PROBLEM, OUR VEHICLE WAS STOLEN, BUT THANKFULLY FOUND WITH NO DAMAGE. WITH NO HELP FROM OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, I FINALLY CALLED THE FORD MOTOR CO. COMPLAINT DEPT. AND WAS TOLD TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN ON IT, WHICH I DID AT ANOTHER DEALERS, AND THAT IS WHEN THEY FOUND THE WIRING SPLICING PROBLEM.
