While driving down the interstate, moving at a speed of 65 mph, the fuse (10)controlling the speed control module, ABS module, brake shift interlock solenoid, powertrain control module, etc. Etc. Blew. Instantly, I had no speedometer, ABS light came on and my rear A/C began blowing on its own. I have since replaced #10 fuse and it has blown repeatedly. Since this past Friday, I have also learned that my cruise control is no longer functioning. I have done the research and have found from my fellow Ford lemon owners, that this is not an uncommon occurance. I will be replacing the cruise control switch and/or brake pressure switch (which is located by the master cyclinder; which commonly seems to have a short in the circuit due to the wonderful job Ford did designing their vehicles.

While driving 60mp vehicle stalled out and died without warning, resulting in loss of vehicle control. After vehicle had stalled out "low oil pressure" indicator light flashed. Dealer inspected vehicle. Dealer could not figure why vehicle stalled, however stated that the PCM was Canadian or europian made so it was replaced.
