  EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  HID LIGHTS - THEY JUST BLIND A PERSON EITHER HEAD ON OR IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU. IT IS CRAZY YOU WANT TO GRAB A WELDING HELMET TO SEE. SURE THEY ALLOW THE OWNER WITH HID LIGHTS TO SEE FARTHER BUT AT WHOSE EXPENSE? I CAN'T SEE AROUND ANYTHING WITH THAT COMING AT ME. ALSO, THIS ALMOST APPLIES TO THOSE SUVS AND TRUCKS THAT HAVE TO HAVE 4 HEADLIGHTS AS BIG AS PIE PANS FACING YOU DOWN. TWO HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ENOUGH FOR ANY VEHICLE. HOW ABOUT SOME COMMON SENSE IN LIGHTING? *TR

  LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH ON MY 2010 FORD F-150 TRUCK IN ON THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE FLOOR ON THE CAB. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IT APPEARS THAT MY LEFT FOOT RELEASED THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH AND ALLOWED THE HOOD TO OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO PUT THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH. IT APPARENTLY SNAGGED ON MY SHOE AND WAS PULLED BACK AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT AND THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT TO MAKE THE DRIVER AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM THAT THE HOOD IS IN THE UNLATCHED CONDITION. ON MY PREVIOUS FORD TRUCKS, THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH WAS MOUNTED AT THE LOWER EDGE OF THE DASH BOARD AND WAS OUT OF THE WAY OF ACCIDENTALLY BEING RELEASED. *TR

  VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  HI, ON MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2010, I TEST DROVE A 2010 FORD 150 SUPERCREW 2WD PICKUP TRUCK (WITH THE SALESMAN). A FEW FEET OUT OF THE DEALER LOT I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE HAD. AFTER RELEASING MY FOOT COMPLETELY FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, I NOTED THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL ACTING AS IF IT WAS ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN. I MENTIONED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS STILL DOWN DESPITE MY FOOT BEING OFF OF IT AND ON THE BRAKE. I THEN REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND KICKED ON THE FLOOR MAT AREA (I DID NOT REMOVE MY EYES FROM THE ROAD) WITH THE HEAL OF MY FOOT IN A REARWARD MOTION. SUBSEQUENTLY THE STUCK ACCELERATOR BECAME UNSTUCK. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THE FLOOR MAT WAS INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL OR NOT, I JUST KNOW THAT IT WAS STUCK DOWN AND POST MY ACTIONS IT WAS NOT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I WOULD FEEL AWFUL IF I SAID NOTHING AND THEN SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF A POTENTIAL DESIGN FLAW. TW*
