10. The Better Business Bureau (BBB)AUTO LINE Program (U.S. Only)
Your satisfaction is important to Ford Motor Company and to
your dealer. If a warranty concern has not been resolved using the
three-step procedure outlined on the first page of the Customer
Assistance section, you may be eligible to participate in the BBB
AUTO LINE program.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts — mediation
and arbitration. During mediation, a representative of the BBB
will contact both you and Ford Motor Company to explore
options for settlement of the claim. If an agreement is not
reached during mediation and your claim is eligible, you may
participate in the arbitration process. An arbitration hearing will
be scheduled so that you can present your case in an informal
setting before an impartial person. The arbitrator will consider
the testimony provided and make a decision after the hearing.
You are not bound by the decision, but should you choose to
accept the BBB AUTO LINE decision, Ford must abide by the
accepted decision as well. Disputes submitted to the BBB AUTO
LINE program are usually decided within forty days after you file
your claim with the BBB.
BBB AUTO LINE Application: Using the information provided
below, please call or write to request a program application. You
will be asked for your name and address, general information
about your new vehicle, information about your warranty
concerns, and any steps you have already taken to try to resolve
them. A Customer Claim Form will be mailed that will need to be
completed, signed, and returned to the BBB along with proof of
ownership. Upon request, the BBB will review the claim for
eligibilty under the Program Summary Guidelines.

11. State warranty enforcement laws
These state laws - sometimes called "lemon laws" - allow
owners to receive a replacement vehicle or a refund of the
purchase price, under certain circumstances. The laws vary from
state to state.
To the extent your state law allows, Ford Motor Company
requires that you first send us a written notification of any
defects or non-conformities that you have experienced with your
vehicle. (This will give us the opportunity to make any needed
repairs before you pursue the remedies provided by your state's
law.)
In all other states where not specifically required by state law,
Ford Motor Company requests that you give us the written notice.
Send your written notification to:Ford Motor Company

12. Important information about ambulanceconversions
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if
equipped with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package. In addition,
Ford urges ambulance manufacturers to follow the
recommendations of the Ford Incomplete Vehicle Manual and
the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book (and pertinent
supplements).
Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford Ambulance Prep
Package to produce an ambulance could result in elevated
underbody temperatures, fuel overpressurization, and the risk
of fuel expulsion and fires. Such use also voids the Ford
Bumper to Bumper Warranty and may void the Emissions
Warranties.
You may determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the
Ford Ambulance Prep Package by inspecting the information
plate on the driver's rear door pillar.
You may determine whether the ambulance manufacturer has
followed Ford's recommendations by contacting the ambulance
manufacturer of your vehicle.
