| Description of the problem | The inner core of the ignition switch is bad which when moved up or down by movement of the truck going down the road causes the dash lights ,gps, radio and any other electrical part to stop working , also if you have a memory adjust seat it will start going forward and back sporadically which in turn tightens up the seat belt to extreme pressure , which is very distracting to the driver , which in turn could cause an accident . Discussed this with ford and the response was it was not broken so they were not going to fix it. Someone has to be killed before they do anything for a $2. 00 item or the electrical system has to catch on fire before they will do anything . Some one needs to force them into fixing there products |
