UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS 1997 FORD F-150 TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 1996 WITH 6,000 MILES FROM NATIONAL AUTO SALES. IN MAY 1999 WE NOTICED THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK WAS CHIPPING AWAY. THE PAINT IS GONE AND THE GRAY PRIMER IS NOW SHOWING IN AN 18 INCH AREA. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR FORD DEALER (HOLMES TUTTLE FORD) AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE TECHNICIAN HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS CALLED "CRAZING". HOWEVER, DUE TO THE MILEAGE IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE THEN CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING, IT WAS OUT OF WARRAMTY AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN COVERED PARKING AND IS ONLY DRIVEN ABOUIT THREE TIMES A WEEK. NO SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

#715911December 10, 1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE WILL CAUSE THE POWER WINDOWS/INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND THE ENTIE WINSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE WEBB FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THIS MODULE FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS A FEW THOUSAND MILES OVER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY 2 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS A MATTER OF SAFETY . AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY CHARGED AND EXTRA HOUR (2 TOTAL) OF DIAGNOSTIC LABOR THAN OTHER DEALERSHIPS THAT WERE CONTACTED. THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HOTLINE WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODULE. HOWEVER, I DID FIND OUT FROM THE NHTSTA THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME RESPONSIBILITY ACCEPTED BY EITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR THE MANUFACTURER, FORD.
