Intermittent advance trac error message seems to cause turn signals to malfunction (you have to hold lever in position to keep flashers on to indicate turning/lane change). Problem goes as mysteriously as it came- from 5mph to 55mph. Turning traction control off has no effect on it. In two weeks this problem lasted for about 10 minutes on one occasion; and from my morning commute (25min) to my evening commute…

No left rear break light, no left rear turn light, only flashes quickly on left side mirror and left front turn signal. Had it tested with 3 different mechanics, who all state modular defect. Two different ford dealers claim no issue with vinn#, yet there are recalls for same issue. Problem is both stationary and moving. New bulbs short out. Unable to get vehicle inspected due to issue.

When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on. I am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle. Reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and "jolts" backwards without warning and allows me to backup. However dash light never changes and am unsure…

When the "service advance track" light indicator lights up, when you actuate the turn signal lever, the turn signals will only flash once, and then they stop flashing. This can happen when the vehicle is stationary or moving at any time.

I rented a ford pickup truck from u-haul, and i feel that the automatic lighting controls on it are a safety issue. At night, when you open the driver's door, the dashboard illumination (speedometer, other gauges) comes on automatically. When you put in the key and start the engine, the daytime running lights (white lights on the front of the truck that are not as intense as the normal low-beam headlamps) come on.…
