Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE SMELL OF SMOKE CAME FROM THE DASH AND THEN THE HEATER BLOWER CONTROL SWITCH STOPPED WORKING. I HAD A LETTER FROM FORD DATED OCTOBER OF 1999 THAT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SWITCHES. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THAT COMPONENT. NOW WHEN I ASK THEM ABOUT IT, NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM CONVINCED THAT A SMALL FIRE WAS UNDER MY DASH BOARD. ALSO, MY DEFROSTER WON'T FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND MAKES FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING. *AK
