1 Gas Tank Strap problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2011

I received a recall on my Ford f-150 pickup, replace fuel tank straps. I called and made a appointment. When I got to the dealership, they took my truck to the service department. They informed me , they didn't have the parts to repair it. It was unsafe to drive, but wanted me to sign a waver, which would hold me accountable, if the straps broke , and caused an accident. They wanted me to drive the truck home!! I had to leave the truck at the dealership. I wasn't going to drive a dangerous truck home? this is Friday, they won't have the parts until Tuesday to fix it. What a pain!!! they wouldn't even give me a rental to drive, they had to drive me home!!.
