Norcold corp. Issued safety recall # 10e-049 on/about October 21, 2010 for refrigerator units in recreational vehicles for a potential "fire" in the cooling unit(s). A certified RV dealer confirmed fire damage to unit owned and operated by complainant . Norcold corp. Has refused to honor safety recall(s) and repair said damaged units. The fire was contained to the refrigerator unit only however its a total lost. There are millions of similar defective refrigerator units being used on the national's highways by unsuspecting RV owners posing a serious safety and hazardous potential for a catastrophic event that will endanger the traveling public.
I have experienced numerous engine failures, of which I have the receipts, on my f500 Ford with the 6. 0 diesel engine, at a cost to me of over $7,000. At the time of the failures, the engine was only out of warranty for a short period of time. Because a diesel should last for a relatively long period of time and should not have these types of problems, I asked Ford to cover the bill. In short, Ford would not give me the time of day or admit to anything. I am very concerned as I don' t make the kind of money it takes to continually invest in an engine that should still run fine. I have also discussed this with others that own the same engine and have found that the type of problems that I've had are quite common with the 6. 0 engine. I have all the receipts and expect Ford to take responsibility for what is clearly a poorly built engine. I'm also having trouble with the air conditioner for years and have been unable to find the problem. I await your reply and can send you a copy of the bills and my correspondence with Ford.
