| News article on tv about fires being caused from hydraulic brake light switch leaking on hot manifold causing fires. our motor home was built on a 1997 ford e350 chassis. i went to a ford dealer in the area we were camping & they sold me the replacement switch. i installed the switch immediately. the switch # from dealer [1l1z*9g652*aa b22 ke repair] did not match the # on recall sheet. i explained that i had replaced the switch prior to the recall & that the dealer assured me that this was the coorect replacement. it worked fine & looks just like the switch with the right #. the dealer i turned over the switch i replaced would not pay me for the switch. i was told by ford to go to my closest dealer which was winner ford in cherry hill, nj. i have sent ford a copy of my receipt to both customer follow-up survey group & invester relations on 12-11-07. we have not heard a word from anyone from ford. if they will treat a stock holder this way i pity the general public. they would sell a lot more vehicles if they would step up to the plate & take care of these problems when they occur. thank you, robert c. martin. *tr | |||
