| Hydraulic Parking Brake problems |
I am writing in reference to a recall notice I received on October 11, 2005 regarding a possible driveline parking brake anchor bolt fracture on my F-650 Ford truck. I purchased this truck from hubco Ford in allentown PA. It has since come to my attention that hubco Ford, where I purchased this vehicle, has closed its doors and no longer can service this vehicle. Not only was I never notified of the closure, but also, the closest service center that can handle this size truck, is located in another state. This repair may only require less than half a day to fix, but it is going to take at least that long or better getting the truck there and back. This has created a hardship in trying to get this vehicle repaired. I believe that it is Fordã‚s responsibility to notify customers when a dealership has closed itsã‚ doors and there is no one else within a 100 mile range that not only canã‚t repair this vehicle, but there are no dealership to handle possible future purchases of a vehicle like this. It is my belief that I am not the only person from this area that is now faced with this problem. I sincerely think that Ford corporation needs to consider its customers needs and provide for an alternative method of repairing this vehicle, without creating such hardship on the customer.
