Description of the problem	I received a recall notice - 11s25/nhtsa recall 12v-006 in march, 2012. This recall relates is regarding a worn spline in the transmission torque converter. Ford claims parts would be in 2nd quarter of 2012. I called my dealer, and told parts will not be in until 1st week in june. Waited. Called dealer and ford - parts now will be in the end of june. So i called [xxx] at vehicle safety hotline case # [xxx] and made complaint. Called ftc on 6/7/12 and also made complaint. Reference # [xxx]. June and then july came and went - no parts. August - i receive a letter from ford stating the parts are in, and they want to have the "recall performed as soon as possible" called my ford dealer the day the letter arrived- they claim they do not have the parts yet, and they would call. It is september 4. Labor day has come and gone - no fixed van. Obviously they say recall, but have no intention of fixing my vehicle. February 19, 2009 my van broke down. I needed to replace my transmission due to "electronic transmission diag no pump pressure has internal broken part need to r&i trans-axle. Found stripped pump shaft into torque. Replaced torque converter" this cost me $1829. 60. I still have the original receipt. My dealer is claiming i cannot even submit this bill to ford for "potentially" reimbursement, (by a ford committee of course) for this until my van is worked on - once he parts from the recall are in. I feel i have paid for this recall already, and am being totally screwed. Please advise. Thank you for you time - information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
