NHTSA complaint #10125264, filed 2005-06“My wife amy l dykman has owned a 2001 Taurus for almost 3 years. We have not received any notifications of manufacturer recalls. I checked the website and there are nine recalls that could affect our car, some having to do with the child seat, which is very concerning to us. We are both young professionals and loyal Ford customers with family who work for Ford, but the fact that I have to find out on my own there are recalls makes me question the follow-up and integrity of Ford motors co. Please notify us if there are any more recall and/or issues we should address. Thank you for your time. …”
