RECALL 16S26 FOR MY VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT HAVE AN EXPECTED FIX DATE. PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I NEED TO SELL MY VEHICLE AND THE APPRAISAL VALUE HAD BEEN DROPPED BY $2000 DUE TO DEALERS NOT HAVING PARTS TO FIX THEM. THEY DO NOT REALLY WANT TO TAKE THEM IN TRADE SINCE THEY CAN NOT SELL A RELIABLE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I WANT TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR BUT BECAUSE THIS RECALL IS LISTED ON IT FOR SO LONG A PERIOD NOW, NO DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO OFFER ME ANY AMOUNT CLOSE TO WHAT MY CAR WOULD BE VALUED OTHERWISE AS A TRADE-IN. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE FACT THAT I AM BEING SEVERELY FINANCIALLY PUNISHED BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. WE ARE TALKING MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HERE. I VERY MUCH WANT TO KNOW MY LEGAL RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT DEALERS ARE PURPOSELY USING THIS AS A WAY TO PRESSURE POTENTIAL BUYERS LIKE MYSELF INTO DUMPING THEIR VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY FEEL HELPLESS IN THIS SITUATION. I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT A REPLY AND A SOLUTION TO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES WERE INTERMITTENTLY FAILING TO WORK. WHEN THEY MOST OFTEN FAILED WAS AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE OR SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD APPROACHING A SITUATION TO STOP WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD KICK IN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR LOSING PRESSURE AND BRAKING. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS AND HAVE BLOWN STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. WHAT I HAD REPLACED WAS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL ASSEMBY FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. A VALVE WAS STICKING IN THE MODULE THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE KEPT THE PART. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT FORD TO NO AVAIL.
