I WAS TOLD MY CLAIM WAS WITH CONTINENTAL TIRE, NOT FORD, AND THAT CONTINENTAL WOULD BE CONTACTING ME. THEY NEVER DID CONTACT ME AND I FINALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CALL CONTINENTAL TIRE WITH A PHONE NO. GIVEN TO ME BY FORD. CONTINENTAL TIRE NOW SAYS THAT THE RECALL IS OVER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO RECOUP MY EXPENSES. I NEED YOUR HELP.
