Consumer Description

ON APR 8 1999 I TOOK MY CAR TO AMHERST MOTORS INC BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL ONT HE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH THE FORD COMPANY FAILED TO INFORM ME ABOUT. WHEN QUESTIONED, THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE ME. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE DPFE(REVISED DELTA PRESSURE FEEDBACK)VOLTA FAILED. THEY DID NOT TELL ME THIS WHEN THEY RELEASED MY CAR APR 15 1999. I ASKED TO HAVE THE SEATBELT FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME OVER $100. THERE IS A RECALL #95S31 FOR THAT SEATBELT
