Consumer Description
I NOTICE ABOUT A WEEK AGO THAT A WRENCH LIGHT SIGNAL CAME ON MY DASH. I CHECKED MY OWNERS MANUAL AND GOOGLE THE INFORMATION AND THEN I CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. I CAN FEEL MY CAR DOING A PULL WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN ON THE FREEWAY I AM NOT GETTING NOT POWER IT SEEMS LIKE I AM MOVING SLOWER THAN WHAT MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS, I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I GUESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CENTAIN VIN # AN BE EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL BUT YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPEN ABOUT 1YEAR AGO TO MY POWER STEERING THERE WERE RECALLS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. I WAS OUT $1000.00 . NOW I HAVE I HAVE GET THIS FIXED AND MY MECHANIC CAN NOT DO IT BECAUSE HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT YOU NEED A COMPUTER AND I NEED TO TAKE BACK TO FORD WHICH IS GOING TO COST AND ARM AND A LEG. I AM SO DONE WITH FORD I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FORD CARS/TRUCKS BUT I AM AT MY END WITH THEM.
