This GAWD DAMNED PIECE OF CRAP THAT FORD BUILT SHOULD BE UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY.....AND TRANSFERRED TO EVERY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE!
NUMEROUS....AND I MEAN....NUMEROUS, REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES WHICH HAVE EVENTUALLY BURNT OUT THE ALTERNATOR WHICH ALSO HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES..... TRIED WD40, REMOVAL OF THE INTERIOR AND COURTESY LIGHT BULBS, SANDED OFF THE CONNECTIONS, UNHOOKED DRIVER'S SIDE SAFETY SWITCH, HAD THOROUGH WIRING CHECKED - WELL OVER $1,500.00 TO 'ISOLATE' THE PROBLEM AND STILL, THIS GAWD DAMNED THING IS STILL DOING THE SAME. I CAN'T EVEN GET IT WORKING LONG ENOUGH TO SELL OR TRADE-IN THE PIECE OF FORD CRAP! AGAIN THE BRAND NEW BATTERY & ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN KILLED, EVEN WHEN I REMOVE THEN NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE OVERNIGHT, IT SUCKS THE DAMNED THING DRY WHILE DRIVING THE DEALER WON'T REPLACE THE BRAND NEW ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY FREE OF CHARGE, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, THIS F** FORD CRAP GLITCH IS FOREVER THE PROBLEM! FORD - GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER AND START REIMBURSING THE MONEY YOUR NOW HATEFUL CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO SINK INTO YOUR POOR QUALITY WORKMANSHIP AND POOR QUALITY SERVICE! YOU OWE YOUR CUSTOMERS MORE THAN THE MONEY YOU RIPPED TAXPAYERS OFF BY BEGGING FOR A HAND-OUT BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TO KEEP AFLOAT! THE BEST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED WAS FOR THEM TO PULL THE PLUG ON YOU AND YOUR INEPT COMPANY!
