Consumer Description

VEHICLE WENT INTO "FAILSAFE" MODE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR! AND MOST RECENTLY, TWO WEEKS AGO! BOTH AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON TWO DIFFERENT INTERSTATES IN FLORIDA! VERY DANGEROUS, AND HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO "LIMP" TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP! MANY POSSIBLE CAUSES FROM ELECTRICAL, FUEL, OR ENGINE ISSUES THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED ON MANY INTERNET SITES AND F150 FORUMS! ALSO RUST ISSUES ON ROOF OF VEHICLE IN RAIN CHANNELS! VERY COMMON,AND VERY POOR DESIGN!
