I am the owner of a 2017 Ford Explorer that has a safety recall notice I received exactly ONE YEAR AGO TODAY! With this said, my A-pillar applique trim clip attachment was not properly engaged due to improper assembly! IF, this is the case, my A-pillar trim lasted for 6 years before it became detached and flew off and almost hit a vehicle behind me! They flashed their lights and pulled me over and told me that they were almost hit by something that flew off my vehicle! SO, why can't the same A-pillar trim be replaced and why can't I be reimbursed"?" After many, many, many, many contacts with the dealership, and again and again and again they told me that the part is STILL NOT AVAILABLE! The original contact/notice from FORD was in February 2024 and month to month after that up until now and the part is STILL NOT.AVAILABLE!, 'I paid a lot of money for this vehicle and up until ?now have had no complaints. But now I have thought about trading it in ?but without my recall being replaced I have no choice but to wait. After my last contact with the dealership, I was told I can pay for the replacement, but FORD WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS AND I WAS TOLD AND MISINFORMED ABOUT THE PARTS BEING AVAILABLE TOWARD THE LATTER HALF OF 2024. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED IN A REASONABLE TIME (OVERY A YEAR) AND WITHOUT A CHARGE AND EXPECT THIS ADMINISTRATION TO DO SOMETHING IMMIDEATLY AND MAKE NOTE THAT I AM A VERY UNHAPPY FORD CUSTOMER DUE TO THE MISHANDLING OF THIS CLAIM!
