Consumer Description

THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK HAS CRACKED AS DESCRIBED IN THE CAMPAIGN ID 97V144000. PUTTING IN ANYMORE THAN 3 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK CAUSES IT TO LEAK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FORD DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT USABLE DUE TO THE LEAKING FUEL AND AT AN ESTIMATED $800 TO REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, I AM OUT A VEHICLE FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. I FEEL THAT IT WAS UNFAIR FOR THIS RECALL NOT TO INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES OF THE SAME GAS TANK DESIGN, WHICH HAS CAUSED THIS FAILURE, TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR
