Consumer Description

1997 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL AND FUEL TANK *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN HE SMELLED GASOLINE JUST AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. UPON INVESTIGATION, HE NOTICED GAS ON THE TOP HALF OF THE GAS TANK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ALARMED, HE LOOKED FOR THE CAUSE AND NOTICED THAT ONE GAS TANK STRAP WAS BROKEN AND THE TANK HAD FALLEN AND WAS HANGING DOWN AT AN ANGLE. THE CONSUMER THEN RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD INFORMING HIM OF A RECALL, BUT FORD WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED FUEL TANK, BUT ONLY THE STRAPS. IT WAS VERIFIED BY THE DEALER, THAT THE TOP OF THE TANK WAS LEAKING. HOWEVER, FORD STILL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TANK. *JB
