Consumer Description

IN 2005 FORD HAD A RECALL ON THE 500 DUE TO THE FUEL TANK STRAP CORRODING AND FALLING OFF CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO LEAK OR FALL OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD HIGHER MILEAGE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN TO ME. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED. MY ISSUE IS THAT EITHER THE FIX DID NOT WORK OR THE DEALER CLAIMING TO HAVE MADE THE REPAIR DID NOT DO IT. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! SOME ONE COULD HAVE DIED! *TR
