2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2013

I was driving home on a dark country road with my granddaughter in the back who is 3 1/2. Had the high beams on. Lost headlights, dash lights, tail and break lights. If it wasn't for knowing the road and no other vehicle was around would have caused a bad wreck. There are a lot of lakes and hills around where I drive. Hit the breaks an came to a stop flipped the headlight switch a couple of times and changed to dim lights and everything came back on. This has happened before and it is only when the high beams are on. If this would of happened on a highway or with other vehicles around hate to think of what would happen. Ford says there is no recall on this problem. It has happened a few times but with the part being over 600. 00 and then paying someone to put it in. I can't afford to do anything.
