HELP decide! Ford has had my car for 2 weeks, says it could be months for leaky fuel injector on backstock.

Same here on my 22 BB. I got the letter and are just waiting to hear more from Ford. Its my daily drive. Frustrating
Hopefully a silver lining for us. JUST got my letter from Ford "The Parts Are In " .. I'm calling now to set up an appointment. Hope it's not like the last recall I had on my 08 Jeep. I make the appointment, get there right on time and the service manager asks me " Do you have the part ? " I was like WTF ?!!? :mad:

JUST had my recall for the fuel issue fixed. I was shocked. Initially they told me it would be a 3-4 hr job. Instead of a loaner I decided to stay and wait. . To my surprise exactly an hour later it was done and I was back on the road. .

Also had mine repaired in about an hour. I had left the car at the dealership and they delivered it to my house. Great customer service.

My car has been there since feb 10th and every week they tell me the part is still on back order with no ETA. How are you guys getting the part? what dealership is it? How do i get my hands on one Lol

Not sure I understand why they are holding onto your car. I was told it was safe to drive until the part and software became available. Is it simply the recall repair or were you having a more serious problem requiring immediate repair? My dealership is in North Carolina so I doubt that would help your situation.

my fuel injector was cracked and leaking. was that the same part they fixed for you in an hour? It blows fumes into my cabin while driving. So no good to drive:( They only are holding it cause nobody on all ends of the dealership can locate the part. Maybe one can be shipped from another dealership. IDK. It just seems like they aren't trying that hard at all and Im hoping to maybe reach out to your dealership to ship one over or even just get their opinion as they may have more info on why the fuel injector seems to be so scarce over here :/

Your car is not in the shop for just the recall work. The recall is not to replace injectors, it's to mitigate the likelihood of a fire should you experience a cracked injector.

Your problem is much more serious than the simple recall. I'm sorry I can't offer any advice other than keep after your service department. Have they at least given you a loaner to use while car is in the shop?

Good Lord ! That's a long time to be in the shop. Must be they can't get the injector. My BS ,like the others here, had no leaking injector. Just had the part installed and the software updated, thus the 1 hour wait. Hope you get yours back soon.
