Consumer Description

I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT DONLEY FORD IN ASHLAND, OHIO MON., 11-11-12 AT 6 PM., TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK STRAPS REPLACED ON MY F-150 PER THE RECALL. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE STRAPS, THE TANK STARTED LEAKING. WHEN CONTACTING FORD, THEY DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. MY TRUCK WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED MY BROTHER AND HAS BEEN TAKEN WELL CARE OFF. THE TECHNICIAN EVEN COMMENTED ON ITS CONDITION. THE TANK IS IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT SOME RUSTING WHERE THE STRAPS WERE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE HEARD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE. I AM SIMPLY ADDING ONE MORE. NOT ONLY IS THERE A POTENTIAL FOR THE STRAPS TO BREAK, ALLOWING THE TANK TO FALL, THEY ALSO CORRODE THE TANK, CAUSING IT TO LEAK FUEL. *TR
