FORD PINTO 1978 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2003.FORD PINTO 1978, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH . I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE PLASTIC PANELS ON THE BACK OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS DETERIORATING AND CRUMBLING WITH HEAT AND AGE ON 3 CARS. THESE WERE A 1976 FORD PINTO WAGON, A 1976 FORD E250 CLUB WAGON VAN, AND A 1972 AMC MATADOR (APPEARENTLY THE SAME FORD DESIGN OF THIS PART).
