| Description of the problem | Purchased this vehicle on nov 12 2015. There was a safety recall issued for this vehicle in may 2015 concerning upper intermediate steering shaft rivets not staked properly. The dealer was given notice by ford in may 2015 that the vehicle was under recall and the vehicle was on their lot until nov 12 2015. The dealer did not inspect or repair the problem before selling the vehicle to me, never mentioned a recall. I did not receive the initial recall notice sent in may of 2015 because i did not own the vehicle at the time. I received a reminder notice from ford motor company sept 2016 that the vehicle had not been repaired. Is it not a federal violation to sell a vehicle that is under a safety recall and not repaired? I have been driving this vehicle for 11 months. I have an appointment oct 11 2016 for repairs at a different dealer. |
