Reference to NHTSA safety recall 16V-777 I have been unable to get my car in for this recall. I have made two appointments with my local Ford dealer(hinesville, Georgia) and both have been cancelled. The say part/S are backordered and do not know when they will be available. Even though as of yet I am having no issues I feel unsafe riding in a car whose fuel system may leak and possible ignite. Not sure anything can be done but thought it was important to document my efforts just in case.

Air conditioning does not work and radiator fan running constantly and loudly sounding as if it will blow up. The air conditioning system parts have been replaced as have the radiator fan relay switch. The issues are re-occuring again. Ford dealerships claim they have no knowledge of this problem or of a fix, although there are many similar complaints online. Theses issues appear somehow to be related because when the rad fan is on high, soon after the air conditioning unit dumps the coolant. I just had a 5,000 mile oil change and inspection and the coolant was said to have been filthy, but it had just been replaced in early July 2017, when the air conditioning unit dumped it. The air conditioning is not working and the rad fan is running on high all the time.

I have gotten a recall 16V-777, 16S41/NHTSA. I had taken my car in for oil and they checked the recall, they told me my test failed and would need to replace the parts. I had to take it back. So soon as I turned off my car after I left there. I had a problem restarting it. I called them and they told me to wait a few days, that there maybe air in the line. It had gotten worse. Went back in for repair. It was good for a few days and now I am having the same problem with it restarting. I went to a different Ford garage. They told me they won't touch it because a different garage did the work. At this point I have not been back to the garage that did the work yet. I was not having any problems before the repair was done. So the only problem I have is it when I am trying to start my Escape.

NHTSA recall 16V777 & Ford Motor Company recall 16S41 were released in October of 2016. Why did we not receive a recall notice on this vehicle & now in October of 2017 we are having difficulty getting this repaired. Why are Ford dealerships not aware of this recall & do not have parts in stock" we took the vehicle to a Ford dealership & was told this is a brand new recall. One year later????" sounds very fishy to me. Someone in authority should look into this. We can not even park the vehicle in our garage due to the gas leak & smell.
