Consumer Description

THROTTLE BODY LEVER GROMMET DRY ROTTED. THEREFORE, THE LEVER DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR CAUSING SERIOUS TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON THE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR IN DECEMBER 93 (RECALL #93B31). THE REPLACEMENT GROMMET WAS METAL. I HAD MY CAR AT A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR IN MAY 93 AND THIS PART WAS NOT REPLACED OR NOTIFIED. CONTACTING FORD, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL . THOUGH I HAVE HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, THEY WILL NOT EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?
