Consumer Description

DEFECTIVE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WIRING HARNESS IN MY 1995 FORD INSULATION EVIDENTLY DOES NOT MEETS THE PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS NEEDED TO SURVIVE THE ENVIRONMANTAL CONDITIONS PRESENT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ALL WIRES ARE SHOWING EVIDENCE OF CRACKING AND BARE WIRES ARE ACTUALLY SHOWING THROUGH. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS. FORD WILL NOT HONOR RECALL AS THEY SAY ONE OF THEIR DEALERS DID THE INSPECTION; HOWEVER, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN BLIND NOT TO SEE THIS CRACKING. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN ON YOUR SITE, SUGGEST YOU INSTITUTE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.*AK
