Consumer Description

RUNNING BOARDS ARE VERY SLICK WHEN WET. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE TO SAFELY USE THEM WHEN WET. MY WIFE, TWO OF MY SONS, AND I HAVE ALL FALLEN GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SLIPPERY RUNNING BOARD. MY FALL RESULTED IN A BADLY BROKEN ARM AND HEAD TRAUMA. FORD AND THE DEALER HAVE BEEN UNINTERESTED IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM IN MY CONTACTS WITH THEM. *AK
