FORD reconsiders Electric Truck recall

David Bernikoff-Raboy should be happy...Ford is giving his truck a second thought:

The software designer/ rancher from Catheys Valley in Mariposa County has been camping out at the Downtown Ford dealership on 16th Street with a handful of supporters protesting the carmaker's decision to discontinue leasing its electric-powered vehicles. His truck, along with a similar one owned by William Korthof of Pomona, are parked at the Sacramento dealership in protest.

Since the protest started Friday, the automaker has changed its stance. Carolyn Brown, a Ford spokeswoman in Dearborn, Mich., said the company would find a way to "make these owners happy." She estimated fewer than 100 of the trucks are still on the road and most of their leases expire soon.

"It's such a small number of owners, and we're going to take a look to accommodate them," she said.
