ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE REAR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN UNLESS THE LOCK IS MANUALLY UNLOCKED. THE FRONT DOORS WILL UNLOCK AND OPEN BY USING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE REAR DOORS WILL NOT DO THIS. YOU MUST FIRST UNLOCK THE REAR DOOR MANUALLY (FOR WITH THE POWER LOCKS), THEN OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. I FEEL THAT THIS CONDITION IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THERE IS AN INSTANCE WHERE SOMEONE IS RIDING IN THE REAR SEAT AND THE PERSON MUST EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY, THEY MAY BECOME DISORIENTED AND FORGET TO FIRST UNLOCK THE REAR DOOR MANUALLY. THEY WILL GET PANICKY THEN UNTIL THEY REALIZE, IF THEY DO, WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN THE CASE OF OLDER CHILDREN WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH TO OPERATE A CAR DOOR BY THEMSELVES.**** DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****769311. *AK *JB

TIRES
THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM THE SIDEWALL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE AT HIGH SPEED. JOHN PIERCE THE FORD DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AGREED THAT IT HAD TO BE A FAULTY TIRE. THE DEALER WILL ONLY REPLACE THE TIRE BUT WILL NOT FIX THE 750 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE BLOWOUT. MY MAIN CONCERN THOUGH IS THE OTHER TIRES. I WAS DRIVING THIS TIME BUT MOST OF THE TIME MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN THE TRUCK ALONE. HOW SAFE IS THAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO SAID THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WOULD ONLY HONOR THE PRORATED WARRANTY AND NOTHING ELSE. DT
