Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE ACCELERATING THE TRUCK DIED. I HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED I GOT MY TRUCK TOWED HOME. AFTER RESEARCHING ALL NIGH, THE NEXT MORNING I PULLED FUSE #27 LOW AND BEHOLD IT WAS MELTED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, I FELT VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO RIGHT THIS COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE OF SAFETY. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MAD I'D BE IF MY FAMILY WERE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME
