Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR "LEAF INGESTION". LEAVES ARE MAKING THEIR WAY ONTO THE HEATING COIL AND POSE A FIRE HAZARD. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THE REPAIR AND I STILL SMELL BURNING LEAVES WHEN I USE THE HEATER. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THE ON-GOING PROBLEM AND BOTH HAVE OFFERED ONLY THE ORIGINAL SOLUTION. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL SOLUTION DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT "LEAF INGESTION" STILL IS A FIRE HAZARD IN MY VEHICLE.*AK
