Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2009 FORD ESCAPE WHICH HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. IN MARCH OF 2015 I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT PUDDLES OF GASOLINE WERE APPEARING UNDER MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS LEAKING. THIS IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FOR ONE THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. FORD SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE MEASURES IN PLACE TO PREVENT RUST ON SUCH A CRUCIAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
