Anyway,



F = Fix

O = Or

R = Repair

D = Daily

 

[Yardsale]

Which issue? There were the cable and the pressure switch on the brake master cylinder of which I am aware.



F = F'n

O = Old

R = Rebuilt

D = Dodge

 

[Patrick Pierobon]

F= first

O= on

R= race

D= day

 

[Yardsale]

F = First

O = OEM

R = Recall

D = Design

 

[Dave S 2]

And an oldy moldy...

F=Found

O=On

R=Road

D=Dead

 

[Travis Munday]

Ford anyone paying attention, that's 9.6 million vehicles recalled this year so far for this switch. That's a lot. Probably more vehicles then they'll make this year.

 

[JK II]

F = Found

O =On

R = Road

D = Dragging

 

[user 62851]

Surprised its only 01-02. Had to get my 04 fixed with same problem.



F= Found

O= On

R= Road

D= Draggin'



This one works for me.

 

[troy malone]

A buddy of mine had

F-- For

O-- Off

R-- Road

D-- Destruction



on his F150 4x4

Yardsale, the way I heard it was;



F=Fk'd

O=Over

R=Rebuilt

D=Dodge



Never really made sense to me but...That's they way I heard it!!

 

[Dave S 2]

Then again these oldies just entered my mind



F=Fk'r

O=Only

R=Runs

D=Downhill



And in reverse



D=Driver

R=Returns

O=On

F=Foot



But hey, really...I like my ST...Just having fun I guess...

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Over here in Poland the phrase is "Never buy and "F" car (Ford, Fiat, or French)". Pretty sad if you think about it.

Looks like Caymen can't use his "toyota recalled more vehicles than they built last year" line anymore. Well, I guess he can, but we can throw this one back at him. :lol:

 

[MarkDawn Houlahan]

I prefer:



F-For

O-Only

R-Real

D-Drivers







Time to make the appt. with the dealer...

[Tom Schindler]

Toyota will have issues. Have no fear. The year isn't over yet.





Tom

 

[Jeff C]

So for those of us who fixed it ourselves and kept our receipts, can we expect to be reimbursed?

 

[Tom Schindler]

Yes, Ford will reimburse you the cost of the part you got. If you paid a shop to replace it, they would pay the total bill.

I heard this one from old hill billy in texas.

ive got an 01 sport trac but the cruise control seems to be fine...



my friends acura got recalled and they detailed his car...that would be nice

 

[jbluther]

My local Ford dealer cleaned up my car too when I took it in for transmission service.



Chris, this isn't about the cruise not working, this switch gets overly hot (or causes another part to get hot, I don't remember). After you've parked your ST and walked away it might burst into flames. At least, that's what the F-150 recall for the cruise switch did.



If it is the same as the F-150 recall, it takes 5 minutes to do the job. My friend was a Ford Service Manager (but always drove Chevys and works at the Chevy dealer now) and he came and did the change in my driveway with a crescent wrench.
