| Description of the problem | The mirrors will only move down and in (toward the vehicle). Now the alarm starts blaring for no apparent reason. Cd player comes on at will. After reading through the forums, appears my a/c that quit in april 2011 could be connected to the other issues and the fact that the side doors continually open at will even while driving. The dealership says they fixed the doors and can no longer find an issue since they can not recreate the issues with the doors or cd player. These electrical issues are a potential hazard while driving. When ford says that you should not drive the vehicle, then they know there is an issue and should be held responsible to provide alternate transportation. Even the measly refund/recall repair with the torque converter does not fix the entire issue. |
