| Description of the problem | Feb 19, 2019 started experiencing drive train problems. While driving my truck it would suddenly downshift into first gear and will not change gears, also from a stand still the vehicle will not change gears from a stop and start. On feb 21, 2019 i took my vehicle to precision ford dealership of lillington, nc where a tsb 13-6-8, (obdii data code p070) open recall 19s07 was diagnosed. They were aware of the open recall but could not repair it until approved by the ford company. I contacted the ford company on mar 8, 2019. They will not have the software available until the second quarter of this year to make the necessary repairs, and they will not reimburse me if i pay to have my vehicle repaired. I feel this decision is unprofessional of the ford company and a total inconvenience for me to be without transportation with no indication or timeframe of when i can get my vehicle repaired. At this rate my vehicle will be inoperative for no less than 2 - 3 months which i feel is no fault of mine but a lack of expediency on behalf of the ford company. |
