“My 2011 F-350 truck's heating system suddenly would not switch locations. It was stuck on dashboard heating, and would not switch to the floor or to the defrost. The truck is 2 years old. At the beginning of winter, driving without defrost is rather hazardous as it is difficult to defrost the windshield. I had to pay to get it fixed, and it cost me $1862.37. I feel that any vehicle's heating system ought to operate without issues for a decade or more, so it was rather frustrating to hear that Ford would not cover it on my 2 year old vehicle. …”
