I WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED THE FORD DEALER PAYTON WRIGHT SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $1,000.00 TO REPAIR IT. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AS IT COLD VERY EASILY CAUSE A FIRE. *AK
