NHTSA Complaint #11355217 — 2014 FORD FLEX

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 FORD FLEX ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 13 ON HWY 684 / SAW MILL PARKWAY. I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE, WHICH IT TURNS OUT FRACTURED THE TOE LINK, THE ITEM THAT WAS PART OF NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 20V072 NHTSA DATE: FEB 10, 2020 FORD RECALL NUMBER: 20S04. ALTHOUGH THE CAR VIOLENTLY SWERVED, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY TYPE OF COLLISION. AAA TOWED THE CAR BACK TO MY DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TOE LINK DID FRACTURE. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THE DEALER CALLED FORD HE WAS ADVISED THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE RECALL. I WAS THEN ADVISED THAT I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $900.00 TO REPAIR THE CAR AND I CAN SUBMIT A BILL SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. I THINK THAT THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I THINK FORD IS WAITING FOR ALL THE CARS TO AGE OUT RATHER THAN FIXING THE CARS.
