Taurus

I noticed that my cruise did not work on a trip. Next I noticed that my horn did not work and someone pointed out to me that my day running lights were flickering. When I put on the lights to full, the flickering stopped. The Ford dealership told me that the harness through which the electrical wiring runs needed to be checked for faulty wires. It is now fixed, at my expense. I have only had this car since July of 2000. Has anyone else experienced this problem? It seems to me that a car that is only 4 years old should not have such a problem. I am suspicious that the wiring of the Taurus was defectively installed.
