Description of the problem | Update on odi number 10567429. Ford case # [xxx]. Ford will not, at my expense, allow the dealer to install either ford oem daytime running lights (drl) in my new vehicle or an after market product. They say any such install by dealer or others will void my extended new car warranty. I was in maine last week & in a snow squall at noon & was almost killed by a logging truck who could not see my vehicle because of poor visibility. Can ford be pressured to allow this install without penalty & at no cost to them???? Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
