| I am trying to find out if this vehicle was used as a taxi/police vehicle and if any recall services were performed on it. hyannis ford inc. stated there were no recalls on this vehicle, but i saw many listed on this site, i have questions in regards to the suspension/airbags/torque converter,etc. could you please tell me how i can find out if this vehicle has recalls on it and if i can get the work done. i had immediate problems with the vehicle when i bought it, and i don't think the dealer will give me straight answers. thanks for any help or information you can give me. *ak | |||
