May 2007 CrashInjury

Takata recalli tried to talk to ford they brushed me off telling me too bad. They said don't drive it and they just not doing anything for me. I don't want the truck if they have no plans on getting it fixed, that was their comment. I can't sell it to anyone like that, I an wife have plans on driving across the states this summer. What is left for me to do??
