Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING AND FUEL TANK FALL OFF AND HIT THE GROUND, PUTTING HOLES INTO THE GAS TANK. MY DAUGHTER RESEARCHED RECALL'S AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS ONE ON THE FUEL STRAPS THAT CAUSED THEM TO BREAK. FORD WILL NOT APPROFVE PAYING FOR AND FIXING MY GAS TANK, WHICH I FEEL SHOULD BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR FAULT THAT THE FUEL STRAPS WERE BAD AND I NEVER GOT A RECALL. AM 79 YEARS OLD ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND THEY WANT $700 TO FIX GAS TANK. IF THEIR STRAP WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN AND LUCKLEY IT DIDN'T EXPOSED AND KILL ME AND MY PASSENGER. JUST SEEMS VERY UNFAIR THAT THEY DON'T COVER THE WHOLE THING. YOU DO HAVE PERMISSION TO CONTACT MY DAUGHTER AT THE EVENING PHONE NUMBER. *TR
