This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
Was driving down the highway one night when I noticed my lights beginning to dim. Didn't make it much further until eventually I was on the side of the highway calling a tow truck and having it taken to a garage near me to have the alternator replaced. I can't remember how much the replacement cost me or whether or not it is normal at this mileage to need to have the alternator replaced, but it was certainly very annoying. This vehicle has given me continuous issues though, so it's not surprising.
