Consumer Description

STRONG GAS SMELL NOTED INSIDE THE CAR. FOUND A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE BACK SEAT & ON THE GROUND. THE SEAT WAS SATURATED IN GAS. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. SPOKE WITH NICHOLE & HER SUPERVISOR & WE WERE TOLD THE CAR WAS 10 YEARS OLD & OUT OF WARRANTY & THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WOULD DO. I PURCHASED A FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY #FOF5CZ-9350-B @ $242.00 & REPLACED THE PUMP MYSELF AS I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE MISSED THE RECALL. THERE IS NO SMELL OR LEAKS AT THIS TIME. I SAVED THE OLD PARTS FOR POSSIBLE INSPECTIONS LATER ON WHEN FORD DECIDES TO CORRECT THEIR FUEL PROBLEMS, AS THERE ARE MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM VIEWED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. *AK
