AT 200AM TODAY MY HORN ON MY 2006 F 350 STARTED BLOWING. BY THE TIME I REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON THE WIRES HAD STARTED TO SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. I HAD TO DISCONNECT BOTH BATTERIES IN ORDER FOR THE HORN TO STOP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS IS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK. NO OTHER PROBLEMS TO REPORT AT THIS TIME. I WILL BE HAVING IT TOWED TO A DEALER TODAY

THE FORD F-350 TRUCK I BOUGHT IS DEFECTIVE, AS EVIDENCED BY THE 7 POWER STEERING AND BRAKE REPAIRS REQUIRED IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, ALONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND RING AND PINION REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD 24 TIMES, I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MN BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE MN ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. I BELIEVE THE TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN A FAULTY MANNER, AND I AM AFRAID THE TRUCK MAY BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEED YOUR HELP IN OBTAINING CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW TRUCK OR A NEW TRUCK DUE TO THE UNACCEPTABLE NUMBER AND TYPE OF REPAIRS REQUIRED. *TR
