Consumer Description

THE REAR WINDOW FRAME KEEPS CRACKING AND CAUSING IT TO LEAK WATER INSIDE THE CAB. I HAD IT FIXED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES UNDER WARRANTY THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND TIPTON WOULDN'T HELP ME ANYMORE SO I CALLED FORD IN DETROIT AND THEY SAID THE DEALER SAID I WAS ABUSING MY FORD AND THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT I EVEN OFFERED TO SEND THEM PICTURES OF MY TRUCK AND IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND ONLY 65,000 MILES IT IS UNFOUNDED IF THEY JUST WOULD LOOK AT MY TRUCK 'NOT TAKEING THE DEALERS WORD BECAUSE WHY WOULD IT BE ABUSE ONLY AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT . THE DEALER NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM AND IF I HAVE TO GO THROUGH LEGAL MANNERS I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO. *AK
