ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS GONE FOR A FEW DAYS ON VACATION. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I WENT OUT TO START MY 2006 FORD F-350 6.0 DIESEL SUPER DUTY TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEY ON AND THE HEAD LIGHTS WORKED AND THE BACK GROUND LIGHTS FOR THE GAUGE CAME ON BUT NO GAUGES NO OIL PRESSURE NO FUEL NO SPEED INDICATOR NO WINDOWS AND NO RADIO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER IT HAD 4900 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT THE GAUGE CLUSTER WAS FRIED. THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN STARTED OR MOVED FOR 11 DAYS. THERE IS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE FAILURE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
BROUGHT A 2006 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY IN FEBRUARY. ONE MORNING IN OCTOBER I STARTED THE TRUCK LET IT WARM UP AND WENT TO DRIVE IT. AS I WAS GETTING ON TO A ON RAMP I LOOKED DOWN AT MY GAUGE CLUSTER AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING BELOW 0 MPH, WHEN I WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY. 45 - 55 MPH. THEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY CAME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT. STARTED TO TAKE OFF AGAIN AND THE GAUGE WAS STILL READING 0 MPH. SO I PULLED OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION AND CALLED THE DEALER UP, THEY TOLD ME TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND START IT AGAIN. ONCE I DID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND HAS NOT DONE THAT SINCE. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WERE READING FINE, TRUCK HAD NORMAL POWER AND RAN LIKE IT SHOULD. *NM

TIRES:SIDEWALL
WAS DRIVING 2006 FORD F350 4X4 ON TOLL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE PULLED SHARPLY AND WITHIN SECONDS THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. GOODYEAR WRANGLER AR OEM TIRE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HAD BLOWN. TIRE SIDEWALL COMPLETELY SPLIT AND SHREDDED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO GUIDE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER. HAD I BEEN TOWING A TRAILER, TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED, OR IN THE LEFT LANE, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. NOW, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE 3 REMAINING WRANGLER AT TIRES. *NM

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
ON 3 JUNE, 2006, MY DAUGHTER, WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 FORD PICKUP, MET ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A NARROW COUNTRY ROAD. THE STEEP DROPOFF AND NATURE OF THE ROAD DID NOT ALLOW EITHER DRIVER TO COMPLETELY MOVE OVER ENOUGH AND THE MIRRORS OF THE TWO TRUCKS BUMPED. THE MIRROR ON THE OTHER TRUCK, A CHEVROLET, BROKE AWAY CAUSING NO INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 FORD EXPLODED SENDING SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. MY DAUGHTER REQUIRED A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, STITCHES, AND FOLLOW UP MEDICAL TREATMENT. IN ADDITION TO THE FLYING GLASS, THE MIRROR HOUSING SEPARATED AND ONE LARGE SECTION STRUCK MY DAUGHTER IN THE SHOULDER BEFORE COMING TO REST IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE EXTENDED CAB TRUCK WHILE A SMALLER SECTION OF THE HOUSING LANDED IN THE TRUCK'S BED. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND WERE SLOWING WHEN THEY MET. THE CHEVROLET MIRROR DETACHED WITH NO INJURY AND MINIMAL DAMAGE. THE FORD MIRROR CAUSED PHYSICAL INJURY AND OVER A $1000 IN DAMAGES TO THE TRUCK. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE DESIGN OF THE FORD AND CHEVY MIRRORS WHICH CAUSED THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HARMED THE FORD'S DRIVER. PICTURES, MEDICAL RECORDS, AND A STATEMENT WERE SENT TO FORD BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND REFUSE TO MAKE ANY COMMENT ON THIS SITUATION. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO RETURN THE DOCUMENTS AND PICTURES WHICH I HAVE SUBMITTED. WE OWN 2005 AND 2006 FORD TRUCKS AND ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THEM WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN FOR FEAR OF INJURY FROM POSSIBLE FLYING GLASS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *NM
