Consumer Description

THE WATER HEATER HOSE ON MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE HAS A LEAK IN IT. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR UNLESS I FILL UP THE WATER CONSTANTLY WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH HOW FAR I DRIVE DAILY. IT IS PART NUMBER CV6Z-18472-S I TOOK MY CAR IN ON JANUARY 29, 2018 AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE 162 ON BACK ORDER AND I WOULD RECEIVE IT BY JANUARY 27, 2018. TODAY IS FEB 1 AND I WAS TOLD THE PART WON'T BE READY TILL MARCH 7, 2018 AND I HAVE TO JUST WAIT. NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 3200 OF THIS PART BACK ORDERED. WHY CAN I NOT DRIVE MY CAR FOR A MONTH AND A HALF? IF THERE ARE OVER 3K BACK-ORDERED WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL?
