Consumer Description
1. Im driving and all of a sudden my car will not leave the park position . It turns out that theres a recall on said problem and when i called dealership to have them tow vehicle they said i have to pay for tow. Even though its a manufactor recall. And I get car serviced regularly at dealership. This clearly not my fault as a consumer so why am i a absorbing cost. I calked for road side they gave me run around and numbers which no one answers . While my car is not working and thank god i was at a stop sign when this happened it could have been worst. And i must pay for something that is not my fault. Clearly not how this works when there is a recall. 2. Another is that i found with this car was i let back seat down to put my grand babys stroller in and seat in back wont let up on hybrid due to all the wiring under neath and in trunk. Apparently u must leave middle seat belt in latched position because that what allows u to let seat up. The car seat is supposed to go in middle area. This is clearly poor nanufactoring. But yet they charge a hundred dollars to let seat up .also a manufactoring issue. Tge solution that was given was never let back seat down. But how is that a solution when seat should let down and up. I can put car seat in back anymore nor can my babys buckle their seat belt in back. It is clearly a safety issue and if i check online or youtube this is clearly a real issue but ford ignored. How many moms or kids must die from fords haphazard behavior or stand behind the vehicle recalls that the nhtsa has authorized them to repair. . I am almost 50 but i gurantee i will make this my mission to hold ford and nhtsa accountable for this negligentband poorly made cars by ford. I will not pay for an issue which is clearly a manufacters issue. I have to pay for a tow on a transmission recall . When it was never my fault to begin with.
