Description of the problem	"takata recall"...... I stopped by 7-11 atm to get some money and other items... Upon returning to my vehicle i noticed it would not start. The dashboard said it was in reverse even though it was in park mode. I spend approximately 3. 5 hours on the phone with the ford motor company trying to get some real help. After no success, i went thru three different customer service reps who were not knowledgeable on how to handle a vehicle that was disabled, stuck in reverse and would not start. I ended up calling aaa and had it towed to my own mechanic because i called three ford dealership stated that it would be at least 2-3 weeks before someone could check out my vehicle. In addition, they were not cooperative in helping me get a rental car either and stated they would not cover the cost of renting a car. My own mechanic who has serviced all my vehicles and there has never been an issue... Advised me that the brake cable or something to that effect was broken. I just don't understand how that is possible since i just purchased the vehicle 10/2016. This is the second time in 9 months i've had issues with ford and their faulty products. April 2017 ford motors settled with me over my 2013 ford focus which was in an out of the shop since march 2015. I've had to go thru numerous agencies to get any real help. I've spoken with my mechanic today and was given an approx estimate of $700 to repair and my car won't be available until next week. In addition, it's costing $170 to rent a car to get back and forth to school and work until monday. I am looking for ford to reimburse me for my expenses and cost to repair my vehicle. Or the other alternative is to buy back the vehicle. I will never purchase another vehicle from ford again.
