I'M WRITING TO INQUIRE ABOUT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA17004. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE NOVEMBER 2017. AND BEFORE THIS INVESTIGATION THERE WAS A "PRELIMINARY" INVESTIGATION DATING BACK TO SEPTEMBER 2016. PRIOR TO THIS THERE WAS AN ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION BACK IN 2014 FOR THE EXACT COMPLAINT DESCRIBED WHICH INITIATED A RECALL FOR 2011 AND 2012 MODELS BUT CONVENIENTLY EXCLUDED THE 2010 MODEL. IS FORDS PLAY TO JUST WAIT FOR AS MANY OF THESE 2010S AS POSSIBLE TO BE OFF THE ROAD AND IN THE SCRAP HEAP BEFORE THEY HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON FIXING THIS? I THINK ITS TIME TO MAKE A DECISION AT THIS POINT, RECALL OR NOT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, THIS ORIGINATED IN 2014.
