EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS TRAVELLING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. A FORD F-250 WAS IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT. AS MY LANE WAS PICKING UP SPEED, HIS LANE WAS SLOWING DOWN. SUDDENLY, HE CHANGED LANES RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH HE DID HAVE HIS TURN SIGNAL ON, I DID NOT SEE IT, DUE TO IT BEING THE SAME COLOR AS HIS ON/OFF BRAKE LIGHTS. TO ADD ON TO THAT, HE HAD HIS TAILLIGHTS ON, MAKING HIS TURN SIGNAL INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM HIS RUNNING LIGHTS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. AFTER RESEARCHING, I CONCLUDED I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT FAULT IF I HAD HIT HIS TRUCK, EVEN THOUGH HE DANGEROUSLY SWITCHED LANES WITH A BARELY VISIBLE TURN SIGNAL. I ASSUME THE REASON I DID NOT ANTICIPATE HIS MANEUVER IS BECAUSE MY BRAIN RECOGNIZED THE DIM TURN SIGNAL AS THE DRIVER TAPPING ON HIS BRAKES (AS ONE OFTEN DOES IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC). IT SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL FOR CAR MANUFACTURES TO PIGGY BACK TURN SIGNALS ONTO BRAKE LIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN A CAR (THIS F-250 FOR EXAMPLE) USES A SINGLE BULB FOR THREE PURPOSES (BRAKE/TURN/TAIL LAMP), IT CREATES CONFUSION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. ORANGE/YELLOW/AMBER TURN SIGNALS REDUCE THE TIME FOR THE BRAIN TO REALIZE THIS CAR IS INTENDING TO TURN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVEN A FRACTION OF A SECOND COULD MEAN AVOIDING A DEADLY ACCIDENT. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, I REALIZED MY OWN CAR HAS THE SAME SETUP! (2013 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES OF CONFUSION OVER THIS, BUT THIS CLOSE CALL BROUGHT ME TO SAY SOMETHING OVER THIS LACK OF EFFORT TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY, AS IT IS A SIMPLE REGULATION THAT COULD HELP SAVE LIVES. I FOUND OUT THAT AMERICAN/CANADA ARE THE ONLY COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT MANDATE AMBER TURN SIGNALS. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NEAR THE END OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS SETTING THRU A LIGHT AND DECIDED TO ET FUEL. ONCE I REACHED THE TURN IN GOT TO THE PUMP ALL IS WELL. I WAS NOT TOWING OR HAULING ANYTHING THE DAY TEMPERATURE IS 66 DEGREES. I SET AT THE PUMP FOR A MINUTE ON THE PHONE AND THEN TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. PROCEEDED TO FILL UP AND THEN DEPART. I STARTED MY TRUCK REMOVED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME MY DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ALL STARTED IN WITH HEIGHT EXHAUST TEMP HEIGHT OIL TEMP ALL SORTS OF OTHER LIGHTS ALONG WITH ENGINE SYSTEM START FAILURE. I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP FOR SAFETY AND THEN SHUT IT OFF. THAT WAS IT NO START SAME WARNINGS. AFTER CALLING A WRECKER TWENTY MINUTES WENT BY AND I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED WITH A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. NO DEALER COULD GET TO IT FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS SO I DROVE IT HOME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HAD THIS HAPPENED SIX MILES EARLIER I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD SPOT. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, TRAILER HITCHES
WHEN TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE BENDING HITCH PINS SLIGHTLY. THIS IS UNNERVING TO SAY THE LEAST. IT APPEARS THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE PIN FAILS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET I NEEDED TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 25 MPH. THE DISTANCE WAS 15 TO 20 FEET. THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE MADE A COMPLETE STOP BUT DIDN'T RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST VISIT I WAS TOLD A PART WAS NEEDED AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE OTHER VISITS I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS FOUND. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE INCIDENT. *TR

SUSPENSION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
2014 FORD F250. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 133 RPM IN LOW GEAR TO EVEN MOVE DOWN A SLIGHT SLOPE. IT WOULD ONLY ACHIEVE 10.6 TO 11.4 MPG OF FUEL REGARDLESS OF CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. AT APPROXIMATELY 5400 MILES, THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VERY SLIGHT SHIMMY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH. ON MARCH 7 2014, WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. THE CONSUMER HAD TO BRAKE TO REDUCE HIS SPEED TO 60-65 MPH BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC AHEAD, AND WHEN HE DID, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT, WHERE HE COULD BARELY CONTROL IT. *JB
