My concern exactly, if Ford "band aids" the problem long enough to get me out of warranty, what do I do a year later?
The letter from Ford kind of makes me mad. They seem to make a big deal out of how they will replace or repair defective dashes until July 2001. Big deal, that is when my warranty runs out anyway.
Even worse I live in Arizona, where high temperatures accelerate this issue. Expect to go in for my annual dash replacement this spring (#4 dash, last under warranty). Perhaps by then Ford can actually fix the problem.
