Consumer Description

INERTIA SWITCH CONTINUES TO FAIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I'VE HAD THIS SWITCH GO OFF SO MANY TIMES, I'M HESITANT TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY TRUCK! LAST NIGHT IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED FREEWAY A LITTLE AFTER RUSH HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE FREEWAY DUE TO AN OFFRAMP, BUT SINCE THE BRAKES WERE PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT I SLOWLY HIT INTO A CURB. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING! TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON!!!! NOW THE SWITCH WON'T STAY OFF AND I GUESS I'LL NEED TO TAKE IT TO FORD. HOWEVER FROM READING ALL THE OTHER POSTS, NOT SURE WHAT GOOD THAT'LL DO. *TR
