I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ON 1/31/20, INFORMING ME THAT MY MODEL CAR HAS A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE A VALVE IN THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MAY BE STUCK OPEN. ON 8/10, I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. I'M GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING MY CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. ISN'T 7 MOS. LONG ENOUGH FOR FORD TO HAVE COME UP WITH THE NECESSARY PARTS?

I'VE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED BY MY MECHANIC! I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND HAVE A LETTER IN JANUARY STATING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYTHING DONE!!! *TR
