Consumer Description

1/9/19 FOLLOWUP ON A CORRECTION FOR COMPLAINT #11165049 TO SAY THAT THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 1/5/19 NOT 12/5/19. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION. I WILL ALSO SEND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE RESULTS FROM FIRESTONE. I WILL THEN BE TOWING MY VEHICLE ONCE MORE TO AL PIEMONTE FORD FOR POSSIBLE REPAIR. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND PLACED AS A RECALL REGARDLESS OF IF IT BELONGED TO A PARTICULAR BATCH OF VEHICLES, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD BY FORD IN OCTOBER. IF THIS IS THERE DEFECT WHY SHOULDN'T THEY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT WHEN I HAVE HELD OF MY PART AND PAID FOR THE VEHICLE AND KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. SINCERELY, *TR
