ON MARCH 3RD 2007, I WAS SHOPPING AT A WAL-MART SUPER CENTER IN DOUGLASVILLE, GA. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE (A BRAND NEW 2007 FORD F-250) I DISCOVERED THAT WHILE I HAD BEEN SHOPPING MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO. ALTHOUGH NOTHING WAS STOLEN FROM MY VEHICLE OVER $1000.00 TO $2000.00 OR MORE, WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS CAUSED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROKEN INTO. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE POLICE AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED I FILLED OUT A POLICE REPORT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TO EXPRESS MY EXTREME DISSATISFACTION WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR WHAT I CONSIDER AN EXTREMELY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT (THE DOOR-HANDLE/LOCK PLATE) THAT, I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY FOR. ALL IT TOOK FOR A THIEF TO BREAK INTO MY FORD F-250 WAS, WHAT THE POLICE OFFICER DETERMINED, A FLAT-HEAD SCREWDRIVER. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING TO THINK THAT ALL A PERSON HAS TO DO IS JAM A SCREWDRIVER UNDER THE PLATE, FOR THE DOOR-HANDLE/LOCK PLATE, PRY DOWN AND THE DOOR POPS OPEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS MECHANICAL DEFECT TO THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. AS IT STANDS IT IS EASIER TO BREAK INTO A FORD VEHICLE WITH ONE OF THESE SUBSTANDARD DOOR-HANDLE/LOCK PLATES THAN IT TAKES A LOCKSMITH TO OPEN THE VEHICLE. *JB

THE DASHBOARD'S REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD IS TERRIBLE! IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON A BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY OR WHEN I'M PULLING INTO MY GARAGE. THE GLARE MAKES IT SO DIFFICULT THAT I MUST ROLL DOWN THE SIDE WINDOW AND PUT MY HEAD OUT TO BE ABLE TO PULL INTO THE GARAGE! WHEN I DRIVE IT IN THE DARK, THE STREET LIGHTS LIGHT UP THE DASHBOARD AND THAT TOO REFLECTS INTO THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO FORD EXECUTIVE OFFICE (KAREN JONES) AND THEY SAY IT'S JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESGNED. THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE NO PLANS TO MODIFY THE VEHICLE. I DISAGREE! THEY HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY TRUCK AND SEEN THIS!*AK
