Also, thank you for the letter I received this week, letting me know this is a safety recall and that the work has not yet been completed. I feel so safe and informed… 🤷

Replying to @Ford
@Ford our F-150 has been at your lot for THREE MONTHS waiting for a part so that it can be repaired under a recall and be drivable again. We are not getting the SATISFACTION piece of the Customer Satisfaction Program you have offered us. I will never buy a @Ford again.
