Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 ford escape and i heard of the recall regarding the abs module. i right away took the car to montebello ford on april 14,2007 to get it checked. later that afternoon they told me that the car was ready to be picked up, but they could not do anything regarding the abs module because the parts were back ordered. when i picked up the car on monday april 16, 2007 another service tech nician asked me if everything was okay, and if i had any concerns. i told him i did. i was worried about the recall and the car was not fixed. he then checked my records and history of the car, and told me thatthe abs module was out already and it needed to get it replaced. he told me that there would be a shipment in at the end of the month, and that i should call him to follow up, and when the part was in it would be repaired at no charge to me. i have since the end of april tried to get a hold of him at montebello ford, but he failed to return any of my phone calls. i did let him know on one of my messagess that i would be going out of town at the end of may and i would like my car to be fixed so that i could feel safe driving long distance. i was very dissatisfied with the service and felt that my safety was not important. if the abs module was on recall, and i wastold that my was out, i expected to get the service i deserved as a consumer.*ak
