| Description of the problem | The key fob for our new f150 has broken already. It was only 2 months old and the metal part that holds the key ring came off. This shouldn't have happened after only 2 months. The service department says it is normal wear and tear and will not repair or replace. If the fob falls off the key ring because it was not glues on properly, you can lose your key. Worse, someone could find it, press the lock or panic button to find your car and then steal your car. I think it is a safety issue and compromises the security of the car. It also leaves you without a key if it falls off. If you do manage to see it happen, then you are stuck with a broken fob after owning your new car for only 2 months. One other note on the wear and tear. It was sold new but had about 2000 miles already on it. So, the wear and tear could have occurred while the dealer had possession. |
