Consumer Description

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS UNDER 1/4 FULL, THE CAR STALLS CONSISTENTLY IN HARD RIGHT TURNS E.G. JUGHANDLES AND ENTRANCE RAMPS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, SINCE THESE TURNS ARE OFTEN ONTO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, WHO NOW WANTS TO FORCE ME TO BUY A NEW FUEL PUMP ON RECOMMENDATION FROM FORD. I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE NTSA INVESTIGATION INTO CLOGGED FUEL LINES BEING THE REAL PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL ASAP TO SAVE ME $400!
