Description of the problem	My daughter has a used 2012 ford focus that has an outstanding recall for cpv problems. She has had two experiences where the vehicle loses power and she's unable to accelerate no matter how far she presses the gas pedal. Last week, 1/15/2019 the same issue happened on the freeway, while in motion, going approximately 65mph. Very dangerous! Especially with fast moving traffic. She managed to get off the freeway and coast into a parking lot. We had the car towed to camelback ford and we explained the situation and that after some research found there is an open recall on her car for a malfunctioning part/s that can cause the exact problems she's experiencing. They say okay, we'll get on it. Well, they called us today, 1/20/2020, a whole 5 days later, to say that she needs a new battery and other things like a wheel alignment and bearing replaced. No mention of the recall repair being done. When asked they said they couldn't repair because they were unable to replicate the problem or find a code for it. So needless to say, she's been without her car for 5 days and the recall repair wasn't even done, and they come at use for other "repairs". Right now we are more concerned for the safety aspect of the car stalling out while in motion. After chatting with a ford customer service rep., who by the way says repairs should be done whether the issue is detectable or not, we have to take it to a second dealer and hope they make the necessary repairs. We can do a wheel bearings and alignment once the more critical safety repairs are done.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
