Consumer Description

RE: NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 Manufacturer Ford Motor Company Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Vehicle regarding complaint: 2008 Mercury Milan Vehicle Vin: [XXX] Good day, In September of 2021 I took the above mentioned vehicle in for the above stated recall regarding the Hydraulic control unit. The vehicle was taken to Westlie Motor Company 500 S Broadway Minot, ND 58701 (701) 852-1354. The vehicle was tested and did in fact fail the test and I was informed the replacement part would be ordered promptly. After two months of no calls from the dealership I stopped in and was told they had no idea about the part. I was assured it would be looked in to. The first week of December I was called and requested the vehicle be brought in for the recall service. I took the vehicle in December 6th and after two hours was notified service was finished. Upon driving home I immediately noticed the problem had not been fixed. I returned to the dealership upon inspecting the vehicle having noticed the NO obvious repairs had been done. Demanding explanation I was told that it was a miscommunication and recall work had not been done. Only a brake flush and cap replacement. I was then again told that they were not sure where the part was or when it would arrive. I then escalated a complaint to Ford motor company ( 1-866-631-3788) Case # [XXX]. I was assure Ford would call the company and inform me intermediately as to the situation and a solution. I received no call back and I again phoned in January with the same result. I was told they would look into it and call me back. I again called today Feb 1st and spoke with Ford and was told the same thing with no solution given. I have been dealing with this recall for nearly 6 months. As per your website states, a company or manufacturer must fix or offer a solution in a reasonable time period. I feel 6 months is long enough to find a part. Please help. I want my car safe for my family. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S
