REAR CAB BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I LOST MY TURN SIGNALS AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE STATION TO REPLACE THE BULB IN THE REAR CAB BREAK LIGHT THE SERVICE ATTENDANTS FOUND THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE REAR CAB BREAK ASSEMBLY BLACK AND MELTED. THEY REMOVED THE OTHER 2 LIGHT BULBS AND WOULD NOT PUT ANY NEW ONES IN, STATING THAT I WAS LUCKY MY TRUCK HAD NOT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THEY SUGGESTED A POSSIBLE WIRE SHORTAGE. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN FINDING OUT IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER FORDS AND IS THERE A RECALL THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF. IN REGARDS TO MY FIRESTONE TIRES, AFTER RECEIVING A PHONE CALL FROM DAVID LAHGJHR AND DISCUSSING THE PROBLEMS AND THE NHSTA ADVISORY LIST I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE PLACE THAT I HAD ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE TIRES TO HAVE THEM REPLACED UNDER THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION" PLAN WITH FIRESTONE. FIRESTONE SAID NO! I HAVE THE WRONG SIZE. WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION THEY STATED ON MY FORM THAT I DID NOT REQUEST AN INSPECTION, WHEN IN FACT, THAT WAS THE ONLY REASON I WAS THERE. MY TIRES WERE NOT MADE IN DECATUR SO THEY WERE NOT IN THE RECALL. NOW THE PLANT THAT MADE MY TIRES IS ON THE LIST BUT NOW THEY ARE THE WRONG SIZE. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THIS TO END AND FIRESTONE BE MADE TO REPLACE ANY WILDERNESS AT TIRES UNDER THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION" PLAN. MY TIRES ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO JUST GO OUT AND BUY NEW TIRES. THANK YOU. PEGGY ANTHROP (DOT NUMBER: W2HL1PY038 TIRESIZ
