Consumer Description

The A-pillar trim piece on the passenger side of my 2015 Explorer came off of the vehicle while it was being driven. This could have put someone on the road behind me at risk of a serious accident. I took it to the Ford dealership and they inspected it and determined that both A-pillar trim pieces need to be repaired and replaced under an existing recall from Ford Motor Co.. The dealership did not give me a copy of the inspection report, but I signed one on 8/12/2024. I was told by the dealership service department that the parts are on backorder, and a date for replacement could not be given. I was told that I could continue to drive my car "as is" while waiting indefinitely for parts for this repair and replacement. I feel that Ford Motor Co. is not giving this the attention it deserves, and is certainly not fixing this recall issue in a timely manner.
