Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 FORD EXPLORER AND RECENTLY HAD WORK DONE. AFTER THAT WORK I NOTICED THAT COLLING FAN WAS COMING ON CONSTANTLY AND THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND SOUNDED LIKE ENGINE WAS ROARING. THEY DETERMINED THAT RADIATOR WAS LEAKING SO THEY REPLACED ENTIRE COLLING SYSTEM. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND VEHICLE ONLY HAS 60000 MILES ON IT. I AM SO UPSET AND THINK THEY DONT KNOW WHAT WRONG. THEY HAD CAR FFOR 5 DAYS AND THEY CANT FIX IT. NOW I READ ALL THIS BAD INFO AND ASK WHT IS THERE NO RECALLS AND HOW DOES FORD HAVE THE ORDASISTY TO CHARGE ALL THESE PEOPLE FOR A KNOWN DEFECT... THIS NEEDS TO STOP AND SHAME ON FORD... *TR
