Ford has announced another recall on their infamous speed control switches. Reported at MSN Autos, the following was stated:
“All new recalls are from model years 1992 to 2003, and, it should be noted, no fires have been reported. The measure is a preventive one to stem “possible ongoing customer lack of confidence in vehicles with the switch,” a Ford representative said.) The Texas Instrument-made switches may leak, overheat, smoke and burn. “
You’ll note that no fires have been reported and a “possible ongoing customer lack of confidence” has led to this latest recall. So much for those of us who suffered thousands of dollars of repairs to our vehicles due to a leaky front window and the fact that the failing electronics could cause an accident. Guess if a few Fords burn up you get action.
All I know is that I’m telling everyone I know about my problems and I intend to buy Toyota for my next truck. At least they are honest and do the recalls on all their problems and don’t pick and choose like Ford. After learning about Ford’s work during WW II and how they supported the Nazis, why on earth would I support a company like that. I kind of wonder why the CAW and UAW support a company with that history. Lot of union boys got killed fighting against Ford vehicles.
