Consumer Description

FORD HAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE TYPES OF CARS BUT HAVE NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH. I HAVE TAKEN MINE TO TWO AUTO REPAIR SHOPS FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK AND BOTH COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT LEAKING YET I HAVE TO EVERY MONTH ADD COOLANT IT HAS THE 1.6 ECOBOOST ENGINE WHICH IS RECALLED IN SEVERAL VEHICLES BUT WHEN I CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY SAY MINE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT ALL THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN RECALL FOR. I HAVE CALL CALLED TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY JUST SAY SORRY YOURS IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A DEFAULT IN THESE ENGINES THAT FORD IS NOT WANTING TO MAKE GOOD THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO DO AS LITTLE AS THEY CAN TO GET BY. THEY SHOULD INSPECT THESE CARS AND FIX THEM AS WELL THEY SHOULD EXPAND THE RECALL INCLUDE ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE BEING TOLD THAT OURS IS NOT ON THE LIST I HOPE ALL OF THESE DRIVER ALSO CONTACT YOU. A GOOD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LEAK ANTIFREEZE FORD KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD MAKE THEM ALL GOOD NOT JUST A FEW OF THEM ON THE DATE IT HAPPENED I AM PUTTING WHEN I PUT ANTIFREEZE THE FIRST TIME
