Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE 2004, NO SERIOUS ISSUES. THIS PAST FRIDAY I NOTICED POWER WAS STILL GOING TO MY TRUCK WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. THE POWER ACCESSORY RELAY WAS CLICKING VIGOROUSLY THEN STOPPED, NO POWER INSIDE MY VEHICLE. I STARTED THE TRUCK AND EVERYTHING WORKED EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO. I WENT FOR A DRIVE THAN AND THEN THE REVERSE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DOOR BUZZER WAS GOING OFF, AS I WENT TO STOP I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE OCCUR THAN STOPPED. WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I HAVE 30 YEARS OF MECHANIC EXPERIENCE AND TRIED TO FIND A POSSIBLE SHORT. WHEN I REMOVED THE PASSENGER SIDE ROCKER PANEL I FOUND THE HARNESS COVERED IN RUSTY WATER. NOW DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THAT FORD WONT COVER. IT TURNS OUT MANY PEOPLE HAD TO HAVE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED COSTING THOUSANDS. WHILE CONDUCTING MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT WATER IS LEAKING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD THE REAR WINDOW AND WIRING HARNESS THAT TRAVELS THROUGH THE FIREWALL. PLEASE HELP, FORD WILL NOT ADMIT TO THEIR MISTAKE. *TR
