There is a federal recall on my vehicle. I have set up an appointment twice with mathews ford in newark, ohio. They have failed to fix the problem. The first time I took it in they said because of covid they were not fixing them. I spoke to a representative from ford who set up a second appointment. They were suppose to pick up the car on 02/24 and never arrived.
