problem #1

May 212007

Explorer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,500 miles
The message center on 2003 Ford Explorer can't be seen in daylight causing a very dangerous situation while driving and trying to read the compass, mileage, miles /gal, any readout of the auto. Almost caused my wife and I to run off the road while trying to read the compass. Night reading is fine, but daylight is terrible.. this situation should be fixed by Ford before someone gets killed trying to read the message center in daylight.
