File date | 09/01/19 |
Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | There is no illumination on the gear shifter (prndl) when the lights are on or off. Every vehicle i have had, has had the illuminated gear shifter. I have read reports that said ford did not include this feature in certain trim levels, and the illumination is in the instrument cluster now. I feel this is a safety concern especially for people who drive at night or leave early in the morning. I am a ford owner and former ford certified master technician and i cannot get a straight answer from anyone at this point. I do not have documentation at this time of this concern except the vehicle has been in the dealership for this concern. If needed i can take pictures and download them. Thank you. |
