I have a 2001 Ford Focus with 130,000 miles. The tail lights will not work or the dashboard lights, we have replaced all the fuses, all the bulbs even took it to an electric shop and they couldn't find a short...I haven't had too many problems with the car just normal wear and tear this problem is hard to resolve and can't do things in the evening

Do you drive a 2001 FORD FOCUS?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
