| Description of the problem | I read on google news feed on 12/20/19 ford was issuing a recall for certain ford and mercury vehicles, one of them included was our daughter's 2008 mercury milan. Didn't think a whole lot about it, until she called me 3 days later panicking that she tried stopping for a light that was yellow and she didn't get stopped until she was in the middle of the intersection. Thankfully, she got it stopped without an accident and no one was hurt. I immediately remembered the recall i had just read about and compared her issues to the article, sounded very similar. We immediately stopped driving the vehicle and called our local ford dealer. Upon inspection, they agreed it sounded like the recall problem. But, it was still an advance notice of the recall and they didn't have the parts to fix it, it may be until late in the first quarter of 2020. So, here we are, over a month later, car still sitting in the driveway, not able to be driven. I am beyond frustrated, no one can supposedly do anything. The dealer won't just make the repairs until they get official notice from ford and then work out the reimbursement with them later. |
