Ford notified me of the recall stating parts were available. I've contacted multiple dealers for three weeks and none have the parts. They don't expect the parts to be available for another three weeks. They told me that three weeks ago. Their advice is for me to stop driving the vehicle which leaves me with no vehicle. Ford's actions are irresponsible with their approach to this recall.
