Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL - AUGUST 2017 MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING: COOLANT LOSS WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL IN THE COOLANT BOTTLE AT THE TIME OF A COLD START OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN A COLD ENGINE IS STARTED WITH INSUFFICIENT COOLANT AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE CYLINDER HEAD UNDERGOES RAPID HEATING. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO DING AND FLASH DUE TO OVERHEATING. I HAD THE RECALLS ON MY FORD COMPLETED AT TYLER FORD IN TYLER, TX; HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT A FIX FOR THE OVERHEATING RECALL. THEREFORE, TYLER FORD "BANDAIDED" THE PROBLEM UNTIL A REMEDY IS ISSUED BY FORD.
