| Exterior Lighting problems |
Since 2012 the low beam headlights (both sides) intermittently turn off. It happens with the light switch turned both to "on" and "auto". Up until this week, I could always switch them off and back on, or from the pulled-out position (for the fog lamps to turn on) to the pushed in position, and the lights would turn right back on. There appears to be not pattern of speed. I have used auto lamps with the light sensor on the dash covered up and completely clear of any blockage of light. All of a sudden this weekend, the low beam headlights have completely stopped working. I changed the bulbs and they too don't work. This issue has been brought to the attention of the local dealer in the past with no resolution.
Submission from constituent re issues with Ford F-350 truck (full document not imaged). The dealer had the consumers vehicle for 12 days. The vehicle was returned to him damaged. When he attempted to start the truck, there was metallic engine rattle. He shut the truck off and inspected the engine, but found no problem. As the consumer drove home, the truck stalled several times, the transmission would not shift properly and the steering wheel started to shake violently at 30 mph. The consumer also stated the head lights did not provide adequate lighting of the road, the seat belts did not retract properly; they would tightened as he was driving, which prevented him from moving, there cruise control did not engage properly, it was difficult to maneuver the steering wheel, the fuel gauge was not reading accurately, there were noises coming from the drive train, the emergency brake was inoperative, the vehicle severely pulled to the right, the engine lacked torque and power, the suspension was not adequate for the vehicle, every time he hit a pot hole or bump in the road, he would loose steering ability and the tires would start bouncing. It would take too long for the vehicle to take off, when the accelerator was applied, there was an instant shudder from the vehicle, when he applied the accelerator pedal.
