Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS UNIT HAS FAILED ON THIS TRUCK. IT WAS REPLACED BY FORD UNDER A RECALL THE FIRST TIME. NOW IT HAS FAILED AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. BOTH TIMES IT WAS CAUSED BY THE BELT TENSIONER WEARING PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE BELT TO RIDE FORWARD OFF THE PULLEYS AND SHREDDING ITSELF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES BECOME INOPERABLE. *AK
