#715916December 10, 1999
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAS FAILED FOUR TIMES (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15-20,000 MILES). THIS MEANS THAT THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND NO INDICATION OF FAILURE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE EQUIVALENT MODEL FORD (F150?) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. THE SWITCH AND / OR MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR THE SWITCH WAS CHANGED IN 1996 (AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT THE DEALER SAYS). THE FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFTEY PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY OTHERS. *AK

#715113November 22, 1999
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WON'T RETRACT ONCE IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED AND FASTENED. WILL NOT RETRACT WHEN BUCKLE RELEASED. DRIVER MUST MANUALLY PULL BELT TIGHT WHEN ATTACHING BELT, USUALLY WITH MUCH EFFORT BECAUSE THE TAKE-UP REEL IS VERY STIFF. WHEN LEAVING THE TRUCK, DRIVER MUST AGAIN RE-TIGHTEN BELT BECAUSE IT WILL NOT RETRACT AND SUBSEQUENTLY HANGS OUTSIDE THE DRIVER'S DOOR. WAS REPLACED--I BELIEVE--ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, BUT DEALER IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS AND I'M NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE RECORDS. SELLING DEALER IS ALSO NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I'M NOT SURE HOW SECURE I AM IN THIS SLOPPY SEAT BELT, AND WOULD LIKE IT REPAIRED TO ASSURE MY--AND OTHER DRIVER'S--SAFETY. AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS A FORD MADE PRODUCT. IT HAS HAD A FEW OTHER "STRANGE" DEFECTS, BUT THIS IS THE ONE I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT NOW. *AK
