| Description of the problem | The front dashboard warped up in front and on the passenger side over the airbag. It was reported to the dealership , ford redd mccombs. Ford company approved to replace the dash. It was replaced after 5 months waiting. And no uncertainty of safety of dashboard over the passenger airbag ,possibly deplying or exploding. The second dash replacement has warped in the same areas and more. The areas over the passenger air bag, as well as the driver side on front dashboard. The company as well as the dealership have no explanation as to why the dashboards are warping . I have seen and photographed many other trucks with same make and model and the suffer the same problem. If a person is not looking for the problem ,they will never see it until it gets worse and the warrenty has expired and they are probably thinking its the texas heat and sun. But this is a true vehicle hazard and will continue to be addressed further if you all don't wish to help or guide me into the right direction. Iys a flaw in the design and its in all f150 trucks from 2017 to 2020. I have seen the flaw in the 2020 model at the car show that was held in san antonio tx, back in november ,2019. |
