Consumer Description

THE CUP HOLDER WILL SPILL ANY DRINK ON ANY RIGHT HAND TURN IN EXCESS OF 20 MPH. I HAVE GOTTEN IN MANY "CLOSE CALL" ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS, AND DO NOT WANT TO JEOPARDIZE MY SAFETY ANY FURTHER FOR A SPILLED DRINK OR COFFEE. I AM CONSTANTLY CLEANING MY SEATS AND REPLACING MY PANTS. I KNOW OF MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SINCE MID-2000 FORD HAS BEEN USING A DIFFENRENT STYLE CONSOLE WITH A FUNCTIONAL BUILT-IN CUP HOLDER SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT HELP OUT THOSES OWNERS WHO HAVE THE OLDER STYLE CONSOLE WITH THE NON-FUNCTIONAL CUP HOLDER. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.*AK
