Takata recall - on tuesday 25th of june, thecar started slowing down and acting a little weird. No matter how much I gave it gas it went into turtle mode and cut off. I towed it to darcars ford in lahnam, md. The two warranties on the vehicle expired so I bought extended warranty. The warranty company is telling me they don't replace clutch barren- shift fork a- shift fork b and seat belt light which is on. Now I haft to pay 180.00 dollars for a diagnostic test and it still needs another test for the seat belt light. What am I to do if ford does not help with this problem.
