Ford Explorer 2001 — Problemas reportados

I was driving and the lights on the vehicle went out I thought it was the bulbs but no lights were working I adjusted steering wheel to look to see fuse box and all lights came back on there is an electrical short somewhere then I went to start the truck and it made a funny sound and then I lost all power and truck wouldn't start then the alarm kept going off and I could turn off even with the remote or the chipped key. And the truck won't start. Also when you change gears the indicator to show what gear you are in dosent move . This truck has electrical issues and is not safe for drivers to lose all power like this and basically its something ford should be responsible for fixing because it's a defect in the electrical system also the AC compressor dosent work

---- THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SEAT BELT FOR A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR SEAT.

FRAME /BODY MOUNTS, CREAK, SQUAWK CRUNCH , THE NOISE IS MOST NOTICEBLE WHEN TURNING OR HITTING BUMPS. SOME PEPLE ALSO DESCRIBE THE NOISE A HAMMER BEATING UNDER THE VEHICLE, THE CAUSE IS DETERIORATE BODY TO FRAME MOUNT CUSHIONS, THESE CUSHIONS APPER TO HAVE BEEN MADE OF SUBSTANDARD MATERIAL, MUCH LIKE CHINESE VALVE STEMS THAT CAUSE SO MUCH TROUBLE AFTER A FEW YEARS THE BODY MOUNTS DRY ROT , CRUMBLE AND LITERALLY FALL APART, THIS A TERRIBLE, THIS CAN PROVOKED A ACCIDENT.
