problem #2

F-150

  • miles
This vehicle equipped with outside "signal" mirrors (red leds behind glass). The right side mirror has suffered a significant loss of reflectant material from the surface, reducing visibility to about 40% of original (satisfactory only in bright daylight). The left side mirror has begun to lose reflectant (currently about 10%). this was pointed out to the shop foreman at the dealer, but since the vehicle is out of warranty, he offfered no solution. Replacement would cost several hundreds of $ at Ford prices, difficult to find non-oem replacements. Shop foremena mentioned that he had heard of or seen this S few tiomes in past. I have owned numerous vehicles including several Ford and have never had this type of problem. I thought that it was a freak occurrence until the right side mirror began to fail. I believe that tis should be considered a safety defect and that Ford should have to replace these defective parts. Except for mileage, my vehicle would still be within the warranty period of 36 months. Thank you.
