Description of the problem | Ford motor company (fmc) issued a recall (18s32) in december of 2018, copy attached with notes of dates i followed up with them. The issue is "on your vehicle, the engine may stall due to a stuck canister purge valve (cpv) within the fuel vapor system." their recall letter indicated that "parts are anticipated to be available by 1st quarter, 2019." i have followed up with fmc three times, the last of which was on 6/24/19 when i "chatted" with lacy. That chat was totally unsatisfactory. Basically all i heard was the canned response and no real indication that fmc has placed any priority on fixing the unsafe condition. My hope is that you can "encourage" fmc to take this issue seriously and make the necessary parts available on an expedited basis. I do not know how many cars are subject to this recall, but i know that i do not feel comfortable driving my car on the street or highway where it can unexpectedly stall and potentially cause harm to me, my family, or some other innocent person. Any "encouragement" you can provide fmc to resolve this issue in a more timely manner would be appropriate and appreciated. Thank you. Dave |
