Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON 7/12 AND ON THE WAY HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR CORRECTION. FINALLY DETERMINED THAT A CERAMIC PLUG AT THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK HAD CRACKED. NEEDED TO REPLACE ENTIRE TANK AND IT WAS. TWO WEEKS LATER DRIVING AND A BIG TIME GAS LEAK DEVELOPED-FIRE DEPT CALLED AND VEHICLE TOWED FOR REPAIR. FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT WE WERE LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NOT A FIRE AND ENSUING EXPLOSION. THERE WAS ANOTHER WINDSTAR AT THE DEALER AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK
