How long is Ford going to get away with no remedy for this? They have been aware of this issue for years. They definitely knew about it when they sold vehicle to me. Of course I wasn't informed by dealer. Now I've had to limit driving for fear mine will succumb to this problem. Vehicle is coming up on 60,000 miles, which is when problem arises in many cases. What is my recourse.? Just stuck paying $35,000 for a vehicle I was misled into purchasing? Got three more years paying $500 a month for car I'm afraid to drive. Check engine light is on more than off. Ford should be accountable. For amount they make, to be knowingly selling a defective product is shameful. Please give this recall the attention it deserves.Stop allowing Ford to ignore whatever fix it is going to take. Which seems is going to be replacing engine. Another inferior engine, no doubt. Hell owners will be still stuck with product that should have been remedied many,many years ago.This wet belt design doesn't last. Repair is quite costly. Something Ford is well aware of. They still keep right on selling cars with these motors they know are crap. Something should have been done about this long time ago, in my opinion.
