Tail Light Switch Problems of Ford Fiesta

Recently my dash lights went out as well as my tail lights. Upon checking the fuse box located under the hood, I found it filled with sand and other foreign materials. Furthermore, all of the fuses were corroded and when I tried to remove them, they broke, thus I was unable to replace them. It is apparent that this is a design flaw with this equipment as the box does not properly seal even though it is exposed to the elements underneath the hood. After researching further, I discovered this is a very common problem among 2011 Ford Fiesta owners and that the repair for this is very costly. Because this is a known problem, it would seem that Ford should be responsible for correcting this design flaw as this is a safety issue that makes the vehicle unusable after dark. Furthermore, I am convinced that other fuses will soon fail and then the vehicle may not be useful under any circumstances. In addition, I had been experiencing intermittent engine stoppages while at a stop light or when idling in traffic. There was no reason for this to occur and I suspect this is also related to the electrical fuse box issue. Would you please look into this issue and help protect consumers from a design flaw that is beyond our control. I've attached a photo of what the fuse box looked like the first time I ever opened it.
