Ford motor contacted me last year about a recall, 18v735. Each time i contact them, the date available for replacement parts has been delayed farther out into the future. It is now december 2019. I feel that ford is stringing me along, and that parts will never be available. The longer they delay, the less unsafe vehicles they will have to fix. I think action, in the form of large fines, needs to be taken, in order…

They didn't know about the gas tank. I had to tell them. They reprogrammed the pcm which did nothing.…
