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
