THEY SAID PART ON BACK ORDER FROM FORD. I ASKED WHAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO DOSINCE I WAS GOING ON VACATION. THEY SAID IT WAS FORD'S PROBLEM. THEY ALSO WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE NAME OF THE REGIONAL CONTACT FOR FORD, SO I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ALSO VERIFIED THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHEN PART WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO DEALER AS FORD DID NOT MANUFACTURE PART. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER. I ASKED IF FORD WOULD BE LIABLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED. SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT ANSWER THAT, BUT SHE WOULD PUT MY QUESTION IN THE MESSAGE TO THE FORD DIVISION MANAGER. THE CALL ENDED.
