Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND THIS NOISE COMES FROM THE GAS TANK. IT IS LIKE A HONK SOUND. TO STOP THE SOUND, I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, OPEN THE GAS TANK AND LET THE AIR/PRESSURE INSIDE THE GAS THANK OUT. THE SMELL IS SOME KIND OF BURNT ENGINE OR WIRE. AFTER I HAVE LET THE AIR/PRESSURE OUT, ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON FOR FEW HOURS AND GOES OFF. THERE ARE LOTS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND REPORTED THIS ISSUE. INFORMED THIS ISSUE TO FORD AND THEY ASKED ME TO GET DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE VEHICLE AND CALL THEM BACK. I DID GET THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE VEHICLE, TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND HE EXPLAINED ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRESSURE WHICH I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND. SO I CALLED FORD BACK AND INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE AND ASKED THEM TO HELP ME WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY RECALL PROGRAM OR ANY REBATE PROGRAM ACTIVE BASED ON THE GIVEN MILEAGE. I BEGGED FORD TO PLEASE CHECK ONLINE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE SUPERVISOR SAID SHE CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO PLEASE DO AN ENQUIRY ON THIS ISSUE AND HELP THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING. THANK YOU.
