I have 2 recalls on my vehicle and every time I tried to schedule the service I was told that they couldn’t because the parts were on back order and they didn’t know when they could get them in. It’s been 2 years.

CVT transmission is faulty and the gears shudder and slip. It also lags between shifting, causing near accidents. My local ford dealer tried to fix it last year and couldn’t, it seems like they don’t even know how to fix it. It should be a recall, it makes driving frustrating and unsafe.
