I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW SOMETIME IN 1988. OVER THE YEARS IT HAS OFTEN STALLED AT THE WORST TIMES. HAD I NOT KNOWN DEFENSIVE MILITARY DRIVING THESE EVENTS MAY HAVE HAD FATAL RESULTS. IT USUALLY SEEMED TO TAKE PLACE AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD HEATED CONSIDERABLY. WHEN IT WAS COLD I WAS OFTEN ABLE TO START IT UP. I HAVE SPENT YEARS, MONEY AND GRIEF TRYING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM PISSED TO FIND OUT THAT FORD KNEW ALL ALONG. MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME [XXX] THING, WHAT ABOUT MY CAR? FORD MADE A COMMENT ABOUT REPLACING THOSE UNDER 100K MILES; WHAT CARS FROM THIS TIME FRAME ARE REALLY UNDER 100K MILES? WILL IT AFFECT ME IN ANY REGARD? CAN YOU ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS?*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SINCE CAR NEW HAD PROBLEM WHEN USING FOG LIGHTS, ALL LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT FOR 5 MINUTES OR MORE WHILST DRIVING. DEALER AT THAT TIME SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH LIGHTS. I DID NOT REALIZE AT THAT TIME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE FOG LIGHTS. I HAD USED FOGS FREQUENTLY ON LONG DISTANCE DRIVING AND HAD INITALLY GONE OFF ROAD ON FLA TURNPIKE. AFTER WARRANTY OVER, SPOKE TO OTHER GT OWNERS WHO INFORMED ME OF THE SAME PROBLEM. STOPPED USING FOGS AFTER REALIZING WIRING HARNESS AT SWITCH WAS OVERHEATING. (GLOWING RED). *AK
