“I was driving home on a dark country road with my granddaughter in the back who is 3 1/2. Had the high beams on. Lost headlights, dash lights, tail and brake lights. If it wasn't for knowing the road and no other vehicle was around would have caused a bad wreck. There are a lot of lakes and hills around where I drive. Hit the breaks an came to a stop flipped the headlight switch a couple of times and changed to dim lights and everything came back on. This has happened before and it is only when the high beams are on. …”

“Consumer 2000 Mercury marquis ls shifts gears on its own at 45 65 MPH and then the trac control light comes on. When the trac light came on, the vehicle completely shut down, as if the consumer had used the key to turn off the ignition. After several visits to different dealers, no on has been able to find the problem.”

“Dt: the contact had to replace fuses approximately every three to four days. The dealer said it may be the clock spring, but they would have to perform a diagnostic test to confirm the problem. The diagnostic test has not been performed. The contact reported that the condenser went out at approximately 40,000 miles.”

“Vehicle was going about 35 MPH when all of a sudden it started shaking. Then, lost its traction control, and caused the lights in the dashboard to turn off. This eventually LED the engine to shut off, and the driver lost steering. Taken to dealer for a checkup, but the results showed that the cause was undetermined. Car shuddered, followed by engine shut down resulting in loss of power brakes and steering.”
