I have a safety recall I did a yr ago at ford dealership in hazelwood at Saint Louis mo I’m reporting them because they never fixed my recall I waited for my part for a while and I believe they never put it on now my ABS is getting worse and I need a recall to be fixed right
HAD AIR BAG REPLACE APRIL 8 2019 RECALL. BUT AIR BAG ICON STAYS ON. DEALER WHO DID WORK WOULDN'T FIX. SAYING IT'S NOT PART OF RECALL. SO HOW DO I KNOWN THIS NEW AIR BAG WORKING PROPERLY
I GOT INTO THE CAR WITH MY ONE MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER AND HER MOM AND MY SON, THE CAR HESITATED TO START, GOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND TRIED TO PICK UP SPEED AND THE CAR GOES ONLY TO 55 SPEED AND IT DON'T PICK UP SO I HAD TO GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T ACTING RIGHT, .THEN THE NEXT THING I KNOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE AIRBAG CAME ON AND THAT TOOL BAR ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD CAME ON.AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THIS IS A 2006 MERCURY MILAN PREMIER , I HEARD A LOT OF CLICKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME, WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR HESITATE AND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME AND MY FAMILY AND ONE MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. I REACH OUT TO FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RECALL IN THE SYSTEM FOR MY CAR . I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THIS IS SO WRONG , THESE ARE SOME OF THE CODES THAT HAS COME ON THE CAR AS WELL P0403, P0161,P0155,P0141,P0135,P0102, P0020,P0010,P0179,P1489,P0443.
TURNED MY CAR ON ONE MORNING AND A WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UPON DRIVING TO MY REPAIR SHOP TO GET PROBLEM LOOKED AT NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN ACCELERATION POWER AND VEHICLE WAS IN "LIMP MODE" MY MECHANIC TOLD ME. LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL AND THAT A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR A RECALL OF THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS SO I AM SUBMITTING MY COMPLAINT TO HELP GET THIS ISSUE PUT INTO RECALL STATUS AS THE PART IS FAIRLY EXPENSIVE AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE AS A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DEFECT FROM FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. *TR
RADIO LIGHT WENT OUT AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE KEY OUT AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. *TR
PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND MY KEY REFUSED TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK/DRIVE TO SEE IF THE IGNITION WILL UNLOCK, BUT IT IS NOT COMMUNICATING THAT IT IS IN PARK (STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK, I ALSO CAN'T TURN THE KEY BACKWARDS AND PUT INTO AUXILIARY MODE. IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD THING IF I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY. BESIDES THE FACT THAT THE STUPID DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BUSTED TOO WHICH IS A SECURITY ISSUE ALONG WITH A SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T A CONSUMER RELY ON A CAR MANUFACTURE TO ISSUE PARTS THAT DON'T BREAK OR MALFUNCTION... I SEE ONLINE THAT LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE... AS THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE? MAYBE ITS TIME TO BUY A CHEVY. *TR

NEVER WOULD BUY A MERCURY AGAIN. *TR
