THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING AND MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO OTHER CARS AROUND ME

I HAVE A 2003 LINCOLN TOWN CAR THAT I BOUGHT IN 2005, WHICH WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. OVER THE YEARS, I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACING THE REAR AXLES AND AXLE BEARINGS THAT WENT BAD. I SAW ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE YESTERDAY THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT RESULTED IN A RECALL OF THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THESE REPAIRS TWICE, NOT KNOWING THAT THERE WAS EVER A RECALL. NOW, ALL FORD WILL TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A RECALL ON MY CAR, IGNORING THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT A RECALL NOTICE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD REPLACE THE REAR AXLES AND BEARINGS, WHICH ARE ONCE AGAIN NEEDING REPLACED. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TWO TIMES ALREADY THAT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE AXLES AND BEARINGS REPLACED. THE VIN OF THE CAR IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FAULTY DOOR NOT OPENING FROM THE INSIDE, THERE IS A RECALL ON A LOT OF THE DOORS ON THE FORD VEHICLES BUT IT DIDN'T OPEN FOR MY VEHICLE

JUST CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAY THAT NHTSA, ISSUES THE RECALLS ,NOT FORD MOTOR COMPANY, WHY HAVEN;T YOU ISSUED ONE FOR THIS MODEL CAR? YOU WOULD THINK FORD WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY, THEY DON;T CARE AND NEITHER DOES NHTSA.....HOW MANY PEOPLE , INCLUDING CHILDREN MUST DIE BEFORE YOU ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE? THATS WHY WE NEED A CHANGE IN OUR GOVERNMENT, AND VERY SOON...

WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO DO A RECALL ON OUR 2005-LINCOLN TOWN CAR.,WHY IS THIS NOT BEING FIXED? WE HAVE SPENT $1200 DOLLARS TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ONE SEAT BELT REPLACED,AND AIRBAG INFLATOR. AFTER REPLACING ONE SIDE, THE OTHER SIDE NOW NEEDS REPLACING,WHICH THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER PART AVAILABLE. SO NOW IT'S ALL DISCONNECTED,AND ALL WE HAVE FOR SAFETY IS THE SEAT BELTS,WHICH FORD SAID THAT WOULD BE SAFE ENOUGH. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE BY THIS COMPANY AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT... WHY HASN'T YOUR ORGANIZATION DONE SOMETHING TO SECURE OUR SAFETY? WE CAN'T EVEN TAKE THE GRAND-KIDS IN OUR CAR ,BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY -HAZARD. WE HAVE FILLED A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION LAST YEAR,WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE RECTIFIED ? PLEASE NOTIFY US AS TO WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? HELP!
