This issue is being totally overblown by the media (imagine that). This SAME part has been used for ELEVEN (11) years in the most popular vehicles Ford sells - yet it's just now coming to light that there is a problem with it. What does that say about the odds of a failure and resulting fire actually happening in an individual vehicle? I'd love to see the actual odds... but I bet it's something on the order of a million to 1. About as likely as winning the lottery. Use some common sense (you're excused, Paul. We all know you'll bash any & every American product regardless of how good it is). I'm not saying there's not a problem... I'm just saying it's not as big a deal as the media and Ford's competition would have you believe. It a very easy to replace switch - and Ford is taking care of it. No cover-up attempt whatsoever.
