Ford Mustang Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Oct 28, 2009
Reported on Oct 28, 2009
| THE OPERATING FREQUENCY OF PWM (PULSE WIDTH MODULATION) LED'S (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) IS TOO LOW FOR SOME VIEWERS! THE EXTERNAL LIGHTING DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108 SPECIFIES THAT LAMPS MUST BE STEADY BURNING. FORD HAS FAILED TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT MAKING FOR A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THIS AFFECTS THEM AND OTHER DRIVERS BEING NEAR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DIMINISHED SAFETY MARGIN. NOTE: ALL NEWER FORD'S (CAR'S, POLICE CARS, BUSES, TOW TRUCKS, TRUCK, ETC...) USING LED'S ARE AT FAULT, THE OPERATING FREQUENCY IS TO LOW MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS NIGHT TIME SITUATION!!!!! THIS MUST BE REVIEWED AND CORRECTED. *TR | |
