($1,176.00) i understand that ford has replaced the parts with better versions as to materials that with stand the different temperatures it is subject too.this apparent lack of action by nhtsa is cause for concern as to your uninterest in the public safety not knowing how many other vehicles are out their with this hazardous defect. help us,protect us ,,thank you. *ak
