On december 30, 2006 my car stalled and the dash error message referred to a mecp pump. I had that part replaced with an amazon part before the recall, it is also faulty.the safety recall is, 142s19, from ford. Cars stall because of a faulty mecp part. I tried having the part replaced by a ford dealer. The dealer refused and to make matters worse they posted online that they made the replacement. That is a lie. Ford customer tried to get the dealer to cooperate but they told they cannot make a dealer honor a recall. Please help.
