NHTSA Complaint #11240967 — 2013 FORD FUSION

I WENT INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON JULY 2, 2019 AND ALSO TOLD THEM MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING. IN THE LAST TWO YEARS MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO RECALLS FIXED FOR THIS ISSUE. I NOTICED WITHIN THE LAST WEEK NOT ONLY WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO SUDDENLY JERK AND START TO OVERHEAT . I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THIS WAS RESOLVED AND COMPLETED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS... OBVIOUSLY NOT. I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR FROM THE SERVICE AND NOTICED IT WAS JUST SITTING IN THE FRONT OUTSIDE OF THE SERVICE SO I WENT TO FIND SOMEONE FOR THE KEYS. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START SO THEY HAD TO GIVE ME A JUMP. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS NO PROBLEMS STARTING WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF THAT MORNING. SO THE MANAGER CAME BACK AFTER A WHILE TALKING TO THE MECHANIC WORKING ON MY VEHICLE AND SAID "THEY HAD TO JUMP IT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE IT KEPT TURNING OFF". SO NOW I'M UPSET BECAUSE HE'S TELLING ME WHOEVER INSTALLED IT PUT IN A SMALLER ONE THAN THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE THERE. I TOLD HIM THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE HERE LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO AND IT HASN'T BEEN CHANGED SINCE. NOW MY VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE EVER SINCE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THE COSTLY REPAIRS.
