I wouldn't trust anyone with that many grammatical errors.

Obviously havent been paying attention 2 milion trucks recalled in the pretensioner Recall. Multiple topics started on this forum about it.


They have to pull up the edge of the carpet and put aluminum duct tape over the edge to avoid the explosivss in the pretensioners from
possibly igniting the carpet pad. Their is a video on YouTube showing the repair.

https://www.f150forum.com/f118/prete...access-427141/

The link to the video is in that topic.

$25 card? Take the offer!
My dealership would only invite me for a chance to swipe my card on their machines for a draw on my account...

Well, first off, the number doesn't give a good Google hit, and second, when have you heard of a dealer giving something away like that? I've never heard anyone in the valley do this.

Come to think of it, I would report that email to the Arizona AG's office. They are using public records regarding registration to track you down. Kinda scary when you think about it.

I called that number.

First there was a recorded woman's voice saying thank you for calling, this phone call may be recorded for quality assurance.

Then there was another ring tone and another woman's recorded voice said the same thing (a different voice from the first one.

Lastly, there was dead silence on the line and I hung up after a minute or so went by.

If it's really from the dealer my only thought with that offer is to get you in their door to either try and sell you a new vehicle or take the opportunity to inspect your truck and look for other things wrong with it so they can charge you for other services.
