Man, those pictures are hard to look at Amorello. I feel your pain, but to a much lesser degree. My truck had transmission failure due to the defective fittings/lines that were recalled. As I was picking my truck up yesterday afternoon, in a moment of weakness, I was looking at a black 350 SRW Platinum. I inquired about it but my salesman said it was reserved for a customer who was getting his truck replaced under the Lemon Law. This is in north Florida and I don't know the back story, but is this something that is happening with some regularity? No conspiracy theories here but I hope it's not something that is going to be widespread.

As a side note, I got a letter from Ford for a recall on Tranny lines that could leak due to an improper angle. Seems like this old wooden ship has a lot of holes. At this point it is funny. My neighbors think I bought a new moderately optioned Expedition because I have been driving the loaner for so long.

Next step is to file this form
http://myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/MRAY-8JBGKW/$file/RequestforArbitration-printable.pdf
I filed a Lemon a law against an Expedition purchased at Sawgrass Ford back in 2001. They were slime at the time.
I am not up to the current Florida process but when I filed the BBB "Despute Settlement Board" was the arbitrator. The manufacture was bound to their decision but the consumer was not.
You should also contact State Attorney Pam Bondi's office for direction. Be aware that she's a strong Trump supporter.

Bummer. It would have been good to see and document where the crack was in case this becomes a trend. I'd venture a guess that you won't be the only one with this problem. Whatever defect occurred in manufacturing yours, whether a materials quality or manufacturing process issue, could have affected a series of blocks made around that time.
