Consumer Description

MAR 27,2017 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 17S09 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 17S09 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE SEEMS TO BE TAKING A LONG TIME TIME TO FIND AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION. I HAVE TO KEEP ADDING COOLANT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK SINCE 08/26/2015. NO WATER IN THE OIL DURING RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE NOT ONE THAT COULD POSSIBLY KILL ME. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW IN THE STATE OF TEXAS? I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SWAP IT FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THIS IS WHY I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE A SOLUTION READY TO IMPLEMENT. BUT I HAVE AS YET NOT BEEN CONTACTED.
