Mercury Capri

FRED MARTIN FORD 4701 MAHONING AVE YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO (330) 793-2444 REFUSED TO COMPLETE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SPEED CONTROL ON MY 1994 MERCURY CAPRI. THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO THE RECALL BUT DID WORK ON THE FIRST PART OF THE RECALL (DISCONNECTING THE SWITCH) BUT REFUSE TO REPLACE THE PART SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL. I CALLED TODAY (JULY23RD) AND WAS TOLD WE DON'T WORK ON MERCURY VEHICLES AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY WORKED ON IT. *TR

FUEL & OIL LINES CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND SMOKES WHITE AND BLACK EXHAUST. FUEL PUMP REPLACED 3 TIMES. *TR
