| Description of the problem | I have a battery light that keeps coming on even after replacing the alternator twice and battery twice. The light still keeps coming on and will not go off. There i am driving down the road and everything is flashing and then it stalls. I have had both battery and alternator checked and they are fine. Wiring has been checked and nothing seems to work. Also i have replaced the breaks on the car twice and i still get a loud grinding noise when i go to stop. Ford needs to fix these vehicles. I have read in many forums that people are having the same problems with theirs and after spending a bunch of money trying to fix the problem it still is not fixed. I need my vehicle to run right without having to dump money into it all the time and i keep up with regular maintenance but this is above and beyond that and this is ridiculous! |
