The vehicle experienced problems with the lower ball joints and smoke emitted from the steering column, the dealer replaced the relay switch. There were problems with the left turn signal indicator. Intermittently without warning when the brakes were fully applied the lights stayed on. When the brake was disengaged, the indicator signaled again, in spite of replacement the problem the continued intermittently, however the dealer stated there was no problem.

The brake lights do not come on under light braking, dealer showed me that this happens on other vehicles he had on his lot. Dealer is unable to fix, I contacted Ford customer service, file 1495490060, and Ford requested that I test other similar vehicles, I did, and once I confirmed to Ford that the other vehicles exibited the same problem Ford told me that there was nothing they would do as the operation is normal. Since seeing the problem on my Ford Explorer I have notice that many Ford Explorer stopped at trafic lights do not have any brake lights on. Is this the same problem as I am seeing? Ford does not appear to care.
