| Description of the problem | My vehicle failed to start. After having the vehicle towed to my dealer, i was told the issue was a blown fuse. I asked them to replace and was told the actual fix is to relocate the fuse location based on a safety bulletin. I believe this is a major safety issue and after reading all the other complaints believe someone should take a closer look. If i had been driving on the highway when this known fuse issue happened i could have lost control and would have certainly lost power unexpectedly possibly causing an accident. Ford has known about the problem for years but has continued to charge owners to relocate the fuse when the whole issue is a factory defect. If it was not a factory defect then the issue would not continue to affect so many vehicles on the road. I was lucky my fuse blew in my driveway but others are at risk should this happen while driving. |
