Since may of 2000 there was a problem with the starter system jamming. Consequences of down systems...such as windshield wipers, ABS, traction control, turn signals, A/C and blower. One incident led to complete shut down of car...dead would not start. Dealer replaced two starters and then one "starter switch'. that failed as well and dealer tried to repair on 9/25/2000 and confessed they could not and that they had conferred with Ford before last two repairs and they said Ford knew of this problem and didn't expect a fix till 4th qtr.. they told me there is no safety issue here and I question that because my car whent into complete shut down of all systems and dealer couldn't even start it.
