The vehicle now has 130k miles on it and the dash instrument lights are getting so dim that I can not see the speedometer on a sunny day. The dealership says the adjustment is all the way up for dash light brightness, but the lights are just not bright enough anymore. This affects all the dash cluster instruments, both the digital speedometer and the analog speedometer.

6-2021: crackling sound on radio, whether on or off. 2 types: like bare wires rubbed together, or connecting/disconnecting speaker. ·crackling persists after vehicle shut off. Eventually stops. 12-2021: ·radio quit working, crackling sound continued, appears random. ·observed lights on @ distance. Then off. Vehicle was parked overnight, inactive. 2-2022: ·2-year-old battery died. Dead again in a few days. (parasitic drain) mechanic said it needed new radio. New radio was > $600. 00, required reconfiguration of dashboard. ·lost many, not all functions, of sync system, & it goes to sleep after a few minutes. Backup camera doesn’t work if sync system is asleep. Sometimes revived after pushing sync button on steering column. ·auto electrical mechanic said still a drain on electrical system, but not like before. Rebuilt alternator & refurbished the fuse box too. Said electrical drain was from information control module on dashboard. Said take vehicle to Ford, have them reprogram the module where display screen is located & the drain occurring while vehicle is parked, would stop. ·Ford technician said they had “no updates” on information control module. Took care of recall & transmission issues, returned the vehicle. Oparasitic drain & dead battery continued. 3-2022: ·battery tests as good but dies in 2 days. Engine quit if jumper cables were removed. Then died before they were removed. Appeared dead, no start even though connected to a good battery via jumper cables. ·asked dealer to reprogram information control module. ·they gave it back, saying, “it’s acceptable”. Othey disconnected an “aftermarket” module. Went from 64 milliamps to 42 milliamps. Drove 90 minutes & parked. 29 hours later battery died. Dlr. Said turn off/disconnect everything before shutting off vehicle: no automatic lights, heater, phone charger, etc. Apparently this is a body control module (bcm) problem. Not “information control module” problem.

Contacted Ford dealer to check the low beam lights because the light were focused 60 ft. In front the van on the pavement and were insufficient to see at night. Left the car at villa two days and the dealer never got around to looking at the van. Contacted Ford in michigan. Ford called the dealer who told Ford, "we don't understand the problem. " Ford motor, inc. In michigan told me there was nothing they could do. Complained to CA attorney general. Ford still refuses to look into the matter. Ford has done nothing including to look at my van and inspect the lights.

Flicker effect! this needs action now; the operating frequency on some vehicles did not consider human factors. The operating frequency needs to be above 3000 hertz, this needs a recall to correct this on all vehicles that do not conform. The choice of flicker fusion threshold operating frequency is going to get someone killed or maybe it already has! what is needed: recall all delenators, road side signs, signal lights and vehicles that use pwm "pulse width modulation". And are operating below 3000 hertz!! set a standard for this!!!.

Led use is missing the appropriate level of rigger for correct human factors! the operating frequencies of pwm (pulse width modulation) led's (light emitting diode) is to low for some viewers! this is a very real condition known as flicker fusion or critical fusion frequency and does not have the same effect on all viewers. The lamps look as if they are all over the roadway and completely out of control! it is just about impossible to drive at night due to this!!!! all manufactures using led's or other fast response lamps need to consider human factors, the operating frequency is critical and needs to be over 3000 hertz (cycles per second). This lack of control has put probable 10% of the drivers and pilots are at risk! a recall is needed to fix this travesty that is out of control. It started with Cadillac's srx around 2000, now in 2010+ Ford, 2010+ mercedes and Volkswagen have gone overboard and just about all the vehicles they build are operating at this dangerous and very deadly operating frequency. The operating frequency needs to be >2500 hertz! the use of pwm is not the problem it's the operating frequency! all manufactures that use pwm need to consider human factors!.
