Consumer Description

I OWN TWO FORDS; A 1999 RANGER XLT EXT. CAB AND A 1999 EXPLORER - EDDIE BAUER. BOTH ARE EQUIPPED WITH A CD/CASSETTE/AM-FM RADIO COMBINATION. THE DISPLAY LIGHTS ON BOTH RADIOS UNITS DO NOT WORK. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CALLED A FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THESE UNITS WERE PRODUCED, THE DEFECT EXISTED. IT IS IN THE WAY THE WIRING WAS SOLDERED IN. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? FORD WILL FIX IT FOR 400.00!! THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD THIS ITEM AS AN OPTION AND CERTAINLY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. STRICT LIABILITY! THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED YET CONTINUED TO INSTALL THESE DEFECTIVE UNITS. *JB
