Consumer from Washington, DC

Warranty on recall, scheduled repair (air bag replacement); drove 20+ miles to be told they didn't have the parts, would call when they came in; two months later still on hold; called Ford Motor Company; repair completed by Koons the following morning.

Major repair work cost is a bit pricey but probably in parallel with other manufacturer associated service shops
