SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was given my 2nd recall letter. I called ford recall customer service center was told the car is fine until anything goes wrong with the brakes. I was driving my car in light of this. I got a car wash at mobile gas station. The car wash washed underneath the vehicle and after going out the car wash the brakes made a LOUD squeaky sound. I contacted ford like they stated now no answer to my issue just the run around. What can I do? Also when I first bought this vehicle in 2019 I was baking out of my driveway on a slight incline. And heard a loud noise again backing out after just receiving the brand new car.

ENGINE
July 12 my car overheated and shut down in the middle of the highway with no prior indication that there was a problem with my engine. I took it to the dealer the service dept told me it was due to the recall. Then proceeded to tell me that it’s from the cracked cylinder. Upon researching I found out that faulty part can cause over heating and cause cracks. They are currently saying that they aren’t responsible when the service tech told me it was a manufactured defect.

ENGINE
My engine blew up because of this faulty part. I have not had my vehicle since Oct. So, I was forced to go get a rental car because, I still needed transportation too and from work. I spent over $4,000. Since March on a rental car plus still payed $483. A month for my vehicle that was just sitting in my drive way. Ford just now took my vehicle in to check it and told me that it would need a whole engine. Ford finally gave me a loner vehicle so that I wouldn't have to keep paying for a rental car. I have contacted Ford corporations many time in hope to try and get reimbursement for the rental car that I paid for this whole time and they are telling me that there is nothing they can do about reimbursement for the rental car. I am very upset with Ford because it wasn't my fault that the engine had a faulty part in it. I believe they should have to reimburse me the money I paid out of my own pocket for the rental vehicle.
