| Description of the problem | White flakes of dust coming out of vents. According to ford it is a hazard and has risk warnings as follows: may cause eye an respiratory tract irritation. Prolonged repeated exposure may cause bone damage and harm to the respirator system. Avoid inhaling dust, avoid contact with eyes. However after 3 attempts so far, my lincoln dealer is unable to stop the dust from coming out of the vents!! Further research shows ford is aware of this problem but seems to hope customers wont know what it is! Then on top of it all my dealer wont cover it as i am 6 months out of warranty.... With only 13,600 miles! |
