Shortly after we purchased our car, we started hearing strange noises and experiencing intermittent reduction in handling, especially when the car is running on gas. We were made aware of recall Number23S27, and the symptoms we experienced are similar to those mentioned in the recall. We have taken the car to the Ford dealer several times and each time we were told that, while it may very well be related to the recall, there is nothing they can do due to the in availability of parts from Ford. Given the serious nature of the recall and the failure of the manufacturer to provide a timely solution (they promised a fix in Q4 of 2023), we are filing this complaint seaking redress.

I want to know why there has been no remedy for the 23V380 recall. A remedy was anticipated in October 2023. Also, I got notice of a new recall Ford campaign #23E09 regarding reprogramming the PCM for emissions. When I enter 23E09 on your Web site it takes me to the 23V380 recall. Are they related? Either way Ford is still saying there is no remedy yet for either.
