| Description of the problem | Both mirrors folded up against the vehicle when driving. Driver's side was replaced three times, and the passenger's side twice. However, driver's side mirror malfunctioned again. *ak truck is in garage from 11-1 tomay 1. And i stikk only get1 year to 18 months per mirror. I realize the vehicle is 13 years old and redesigning the mirror is not anoption. However, ford motor corp surely could do something about the price! Retail is closre to $7500 per piece. I know redesigning is out of question, but for those of us that intend on keeping our vehicles, the company could reduce the price. *ak |
