I am trying to find out if this vehicle was used as a taxi/police vehicle and if any recall services were performed on it. Hyannis Ford Inc. Stated there were no recalls on this vehicle, but I saw many listed on this site, I have questions in regards to the suspension/airbags/torque converter, etc. Could you please tell me how I can find out if this vehicle has recalls on it and if I can get the work done. I had immediate problems with the vehicle when I bought it, and I don't think the dealer will give me straight answers. Thanks for any help or information you can give me.
