2006 Ford F-350 Sd Problems

MY 2016 F350 SUPER DUTY 4WD DISESAL HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WITH ONLY 46,OOO MILES. THE DEALERSHIP AT SEMINOLE FORD, SEMINOLE OKLAHOMA 405-382-2222 TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1200 TO FIX THIS. I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY AND MY VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL FORWARD THE BILL WHEN I RECEIVE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A FACTORY DEFECT THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, I HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE MONTH AGO AND HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW DEF HEATER AT THE TUNE ALMOST $1,000. AT THAT TIME THEY DID THEIR MULTI-POINT INSPECTION WHICH SHOWS THAT THE PARTS THAT FAILED WERE ALL FINE. PLEASE HELP ME AS FORD IS TRYING TO SCREW ME OVER ON A 70K TRUCK WITH MINIMAL MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD PAY FOR NOT THE CONSUMER.

DEATH SHIMMY. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN A BUMP OR DISCONTINUITY IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED. YOU CANNOT HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL DURING THIS EVENT. CURE IS TO REDUCE VEHICLE SPEED BELOW 15 MPH. THIS IS HAZARDOUS IF TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED OR PULLING A TRAILER. AS YOU CANNOT HOLD THE WHEEL DURING THIS EVENT, THE VEHICLE WILL CHANGE LANES AND PRESENTS A FATAL HAZARD AS YOU ATTEMPT TO REDUCE SPEED FROM 65 MPH TO BELOW 15 MPH WITHOUT STEERING CONTROL. FORD ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM IN LETTER 09L02 SENT IN 2009 AND AGAIN IN 2015. THEIR SOLUTION TO PROPERLY INFLATE THE TIRES IS FALSE AS TIRE PRESSURE HAS NO EFFECT ON OCCURANCE OR SEVERITY. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AND RUN UP THE PRESSURE IN 5 LB INCREMENTS FROM 55 TO 80 PSI. NO EFFECT IN THE FREQUENCY OR SEVERITY OF THE VIBRATION. ## VIN PASSED ## FORD F350 SUPER DUTY 2006 ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL FAILURES OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHAMALEY FORD (11301 GATEWAY BLVD W, EL PASO, TX 79936) WHERE THE TURBO, GLOW PLUGS, HEAD GASKETS, AND THE COMPUTER WERE REPLACED. DESPITE THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND WAS ORIGINALLY VERY PLEASED. SUDDENLY WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE AS OTHER HAVE DESCRIBED. THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE APPROACHING THE SPEED OF 60MPH. WE DO NOT HAVE TO HIT A BUMP FOR IT TO HAPPEN. THE OTHER COMPLAINT, IS THAT WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR, RAN GREAT, LOOKED GREAT, VERY PLEASED UNTIL THIS LAST MONTH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SEEMS TO SPUTTER. PUT SOME HIGH QUALITY FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN THE TRUCK, THINKING IT MAY BE A INJECTOR STICKING. NOPE, DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY TESTED IT AND CAME BACK WITH YOUR FUEL TANK IS DETERIORATING PUTTING LITTLE METAL SHARDS IN YOUR ENGINE. YOU ARE LOOKING AT A POTENTIAL FULL ENGINE REBUILD COSTING A MINIMUM OF $6000. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE MANUFACTURER TO NOT RECALL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A SERIOUS KNOWN PROBLEM. WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IS NOT WORTH THE [XXX] PAPER THE TITLE IS WRITTEN ON. IT IS TIRING OF READING ALL THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE IS DEFENDING THE CONSUMERS. AT WHAT POINT, DOES THE MANUFACTURER NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO OWN UP TO THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND FIX THE PROBLEMS? WHEN MY CHILD IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE STEERING PROBLEMS IN THE FRONT END OR THAT IT STOPS RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY OR DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK DETERIORATED FOR NO REASON AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE PLUGS. THE DASH GOES DEAD, INTERIOR LIGHTS DONT WORK. POWER WINDOWS DONT WORK RADIO SHUTS OFF. VEHICLE RUNS IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING OR MOVING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND FORD TRUCKS FROM AS EARLY AS 2002-2008 HAVE THIS ISSUE. ITS UNSAFEAND A KNOW ISSUEWITH THESE YEAR FORD TRUCK F150-F450. A NEW DASH IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND USED ONES RUN THE RISK OF THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN. THE FIX IS SIMPLE, THE COST IS NOT. THERES VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE DOZENS OF FORUMS. EXCURSION EXPEDITIONS ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IM N THE MID WEST ITS COLD. I DROVE TO PICK UP A COIPLE ATVS AN HOUR NORTH. HALFWAY BACK ISSUES HAPPENED WHILE WINDOW WAS DOWN. DROVE HOME PREG FIANCE 5YR OLD IN THE BACK -3 OUTSIDE-15 WINDCHILL N WE'RE DRIVE 65MPH TO GET HOME. THAT WAS MISSERABLE.

THIS VEHICLES ISSUES BEGAN WITH THE GALVANIZING OF THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL TANK FLAKING OFF AND GETTING INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM. IT IS A DIESEL. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED, INJECTORS REPLACED, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TO NAME A FEW. ALL AFTER THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO LOSE ALL POWER. FORTUNATELY OUR DRIVERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANEUVER IT OFF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS DENIED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL TANKS; HOWEVER, WHEN WE CHECKED AROUND WE FOUND IT TO BE QUITE COMMON. IN FACT WE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME SECURING A NEW TANK BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY REPLACEMENTS BEING DONE. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD STEP FORWARD AND ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND DEAL WITH IT. WE DISCUSSED THIS WITH A ZONE MANAGER AND GOT NOWHERE.

PURCHASED TIRES ON 2/27/2013 . TIRES HAVE 27,441 MILES ON THEM. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY WARRENTED FOR 40 MONTHS OR 50,000 MILES. ALL 4 TIRES HAVE SIDEWALL CRACKING CLOSE TO THE WHEEL RIM. DOT #'S ARE UTOT HWB 4212,UTOT HWB 5012, UTOT HWB 5012, UTOT HWB 5012

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SIDEWALL AND THE STEEL BELT OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SEPARATED. THE TIRES WERE NOT INSPECTED OR REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF CONTINENTAL TIRES FROM COLONY TIRE LOCATED IN RALEIGH NC IN LATE 2012 EARLY 2014. I DRIVE A F-350 SD. IN AUGUST 2013 I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY SON ON NC I 40 E BOUND AROUND 400 ML MARKER WHEN 1 OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, 1ST BLOW OUT ON THAT TRUCK IN 8 YRS. THE 2 CONTINENTAL TIRE BLEW OUT DECEMBER 12TH 2013 ON I 40 E BOUND ALSO NEAR 411 MILE MARKER. AT THAT TIME I WAS THINKING WHAT ARE THE ODDS BUT AGAIN THINGS HAPPEN. THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING TO GREENVILLE SC. THAT WAS IN FEBRUARY 20, 2014. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. THAT WAS THE THIRD TIRE THAT BLEW IN THAT SAME SET. I HAVE THE LAST 2. I WENT TO TURNKEY TIRE SERVICE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CONTINENTAL TIRES. IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT HE SHOWED ME HOW TO READ THE DOT NUMBER ON THE TIRE. WE LEARNED AT THAT TIME THAT THE TIRE WERE MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2005 AND WAS SOLD IN 2013. I CONTACT CONTINENTAL TIRE AND OFFERED THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME EXAMINED THE TIRES THAT I HAD LEFT AND THEY DECLINED. THEY DID WANT ME TO SEND THEM THE REMAINING 2 TIRES THAT I HAD BUT I DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD GET RID OF THE ONLY TWO TIRES THAT LINK ME AND THESE TIRES TO CONTINENTAL TIRE. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN OR SHOULD DO AT THIS POINT. WHEN I WENT INTO COLONY TIRE, THEY HAD TO ORDER THOSE TIRES. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ORDERED THEM FROM BUT IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO GET IN. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2006 F350 SD LARIAT DUALLY WITH ONLY 7,858 MILES, HAULING A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH A HORSE INSIDE AND STEERING STARTED TO SHIMMY ONCE I GOT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH) ON I-85N ENROUTE TO A HORSE SHOW. PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT STOP THE 15,000# OF TRUCK, TRAILER AND HORSE BUT WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CRUISE INTO A LARGE EMPTY PARKING LOT AND SLOW DOWN ENOUGH WHERE I COULD SAFELY APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OR INJURING MY HORSE. TIRES WERE FINE BUT THERE WAS A DISTINCTIVE SMELL OF BURNING PAD AGAINST RED HOT METAL AND TREMENDOUS SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WHERE THE ROTOR IS SEATED. BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED ONTO THE ROTOR, WARPING IT AND DESTROYING THE BRAKE PAD. POST POLICE ESCORT, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $2,400 LATER (WHICH INCLUDED NEW BATTERIES AND 2 NEW FRONT TIRES), ALL THE OFFENDING ITEMS WERE REPLACED. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT THE REAR CALIPERS AND BRAKE MECHANISM BE CHECKED AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY DID AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER, COMING DIRECTLY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL BRAKE SEIZED WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AGAIN, HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER $1,600 LATER (THIS AMOUNT INCLUDES 4 MORE TIRES), REPLACING EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE REAR BRAKES. IN MY RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED BUT A COMMON PROBLEM POSSIBLY DUE TO FAULTY HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT) EQUIPMENT. COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. A FIRE ALSO COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED AS THE BRAKE FLUID PUMPED BACK INTO THE MAIN ENGINE AREA OF THE TRUCK. THOUGH I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS DANGER WILL NOT RECUR. *TR

EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND SHIMMING AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I COULD GO ON. I THOUGH I MUST OF HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT NO. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY TIGHTENED SOME THINGS AND ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL GARAGE TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED, BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS FINE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ABOUT TWICE A YEAR WITH NO REASON, JUST DEPENDS HOW I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS LAST TIME IN OCTOBER 2011, I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE ON INTERSTATE PA 80 IN THE PASSING LANE, WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD BEFORE I COULD STOP. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I WAS READY TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER, AND TELL THEM, ITS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. I GOT THIS LETTER FROM FORD DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE CORRECT STATING "A SEVERE" VIBRATION, BUT TOTALLY WRONG SAYING THIS CONDITION RESULTS FROM SIGNIFICANT TIRE UNDER-INFLATION. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN MY TRUCK WITH SIGNIFICANT TIRE UNDER-INFLATION. THIS SHIMMING CANNOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, BUT THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION I GOT FROM THE DEALER. I WONDER HOW LONG FORD REALLY NEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I SHOULD BE ON RECORD BACK AT MY DEALER SOON AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOLTS THAT ATTACHED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FRACTURED, RESULTING IN TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,738.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE FAULTY. THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

THIS YEAR ALONG WITH OTHER YEARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR VALVE AND TURBO. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A DEAL WHERE FORD HAD TO REPAIR EMERGENCY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT A NORMAL EVERYDAY CONSUMER. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ENGINE BLOWING HEAD GASKETS AND EGR VALVE ISSUES WHICH MAKES THE TRUCK SUDDENLY HAVE LOSE OF POWER WHEN DRIVING ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES AS SMOKING AND ENGINE LIGHTS GOING ON. AS YOU CAN READ ON LINE EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY FRUSTRATED AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS ENGINE. THE DIESEL TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT 79000 MILES. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD THINK A DECISION HAD BEEN MADE TO PUT THIS ENGINE IN TRUCKS KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WOULD STAND BEHIND IT. I GUESS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED YET OR SERIOUSLY HURT. JUST BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. WHICH IT HAS WITH US. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. WE HAVE PULLED A 15,000 LBS BOAT BEHIND THIS TRUCK AND IT COULD SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. HAS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING SMOKING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT BUT I GUESS BECAUSE NO ONE WAS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NO ONE WILL PAY TO REPAIR. IT IS SAD THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS HELP DIG THIS CAR MAKERS OUT OF DEBT BUT THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WHY DOESN'T THE SAFETY BOARD MAKE FORD REPAIR THIS ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE REALLY FRUSTRATED AND WOULD LIKE FORD TO REPAIR. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT THERE WAS A BAD ENGINE. 2006 IS NOT THE ONLY YEAR. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER ON YOUR VEHICLE AT LEAST I WOULD THINK SO. *TR

#1 2006 FORD SUPERDUTY F-350 4X4 DEATH WOBBLE.{TERM USED IN FORUMS}.HIT POTHOLE AFTER ALL THE SNOW STORMS HERE IN MO., AND MY TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL I REACHED 30 MPH. SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE FORUMS I HAVE READ. TO DATE THIS IS THE WORST TIME.HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, JUST NEVER THIS BAD. VEHICLE HAS 29,560 MILES TO DATE. I HAVE NEW TIRES @ 50PSI AND HAD MY ALIGNMENT DONE BY FORD DEALERSHIP AT TIME OF NEW INSTALL. MY VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. QUESTION: HAVE YOU HAD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE? LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.#2 PROBLEM IS THE SEAT IS JUST FALLING APART. UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT HAS WORN THRU WITH THE LITTLE MILEAGE I PUT ON THE VEHICLE. SIDE SUPPORT HAS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED AND MATERIAL IS COMING APART.FORD SAYS O-WELL. TIMES UP FOR YOUR FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

SAND AND SMALL PEBBLES ARE CAUGHT IN THE FRONT SIDE WINDOWS TRIM OR WEATHER STRIPPING. THIS CAN ONLY BE CLEANED WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. THE GRIT IN THE WEATHER STRIPPING SCRATCHES THE WINDOW UNTIL IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW WHEN HEAD LIGHTS OR SUN SHINES IN CERTAIN DIRECTIONS. FORD HAS REPLACED THE WINDOWS AND WEATHER STRIPPING TWICE BUT THIS JUST STARTS THE PROCESS OF SCRATCHING OVER. I FEEL SOME TYPE OF FENDER EXTENTION IS NEEDED TO STOP THE GRIT FROM BEING KICKED UP FROM THE FRONT TIRES. IN THE WINTER OR ON DIRT ROADS THE PROBLEM LEADS TO CLEANING THE WEATHER STRIPPING DAILY OR NOT USING THE WINDOWS. THERE IS ALWAYS A SCRATCHING SOUND AS THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN

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
