Consumer Description

INERTIA SWITCH TRIPPED IN 2008 WHILE PARKED!? WALKED HOME, LOOKED UP ON INTERNET, FOUND OUT HOW TO RESET. FEBRUARY 2010 THE INERTIA SWITCH TRIPPED AGAIN WHILE COASTING DOWN SMOOTH ROAD. PULLED OVER AND RESET SWITCH. DAUGHTER REPORTS INERTIA SWITCH TRIPPED A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, FORTUNATELY I TOLD HER HOW TO RESET IT. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENED ON A CROWDED FREEWAY! I FEEL THAT FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, HAVE CREATED A RELOCATION KIT. FOR A HUNDRED BUCKS! I FEEL FORD SHOULD PAY FOR IT. I HAVE ONLY 7K MILES ON THIS TRUCK, IN FIVE YEARS! *TR
