Consumer Description

RECEIVE A STATIC SHOCK UPON STEPPIMG OUT OF VEHICLE AND TOUCHING DOOR TO CLOSE IT. FORD HAS A SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE #03373 WHICH CONFIRMS THIS BUT STATES THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I OWNED A 1992 FORD EXPLORER AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. IN ADDITION, NO ONE SPENDS $28,000 FOR A VEHICLE AND RECEIVES A STATIC DISCHARGE AND FINDS THAT ACCEPTABLE. PROBLEM #2 IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON BY THEMSELF PERIODICALLY.
