Consumer Description
NHTSA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32/NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 I TRIED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL POCATELLO,IDAHO 83201 DEALER COURTESY FORD TO GET THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACED. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 5HRS, JUST STARTED TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I HAD APPROX. 1YR AGO A STALL PROBLEM WHEN I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR FROM POCATELLO TO BURLEY APPROX. 120MI. THE CAR FUNCTIONED FINE ON THE WAY TO BURLEY BUT STALLED OUT WHEN DRIVING BACK THE 120MI FROM BURLEY TO POCATELLO. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL FOR DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR AN INSPECTION TO DETERMINE IF I HAD A PROBLEM COVERED BY THE RECALL. AFTER 5HRS OF WAITING AND SEVERAL CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WENT AND PICKED UP MY CAR. THEY SAID THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF REPROGRAMMING MY CAR. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS. THE RECALL SAYS THE DEFECTIVE PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM UPDATED. I BELIEVE THIS DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHEAT ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO MY CAR. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THIS.
