The black backing inside the side mirrors are melting exposing all components inside the mirror. I was told by Ford tha it is caused by the turning signal lights in the mirror. My truck has the double band lights and they need to be single band.

Foil backing of mirror I peeling, bubbling. This does not provide a reflection for viewing. All makes from 1997-1999 Ford vehicles that have the flasher built in the mirror are experiencing this and Ford only replaces under warranty.

The turn signal does not stay engaged (click into the on position) when the steering wheel is turned slightly in either direction. . The problem may seem minor, but I cannot let others know my intention to turn into a driveway or street when the steering wheel is turned slightly (as is the case when rounding a bend). This has been reported to Ford's service department and they state that "operation of signals is normal" on a repair order dated 02/24/2000. They also told me that this happens on the Ford ranger too. My concern should be investigated because I have had to either take one hand off the steering wheel to "hold down" the turn signal lever, or not signal to other drivers. With the popularity of Ford SUV's , the number of potentially dangerous incidents is very high. A massive recall might be in order to allow drivers to operate their vehicles more safely.
