| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 ford f-150 truck. 3 weeks ago, i received a recall notice #11s18 from ford motor co,explaining that a defect with the wiring harness could cause the driver's side airbag to spontaneous inflate while driving. I called the dealer, sheehy ford of warrenton, va. To schedule service to address the hazard, but they said ford "had underestimated demand on the recall" and they didn't have "the neccessary parts" to fix my vehicle, and to call back "in a couple of days." that's been their response now for 3 weeks. The letter from ford stresses the potential danger of my vehicle's defect, but the dealer is suggesting ford sent out letters and alerted people to the problem without producing enough replacement parts to fix it. The situation is not being handled properly. 3 weeks after receiving a recall letter, my dealer has yet to act, and nothing has been done to address the problem. |
