#716325December 21, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I AM AN OTR TRUCK DRIVER AND I AM VERY AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH ALL VEHICLES THAT I DRIVE. I CAME BACK TO MY WORK TERMINAL AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM MY TRUCK. I LOOKED UNDER IT AND SAW THAT THE REAR FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING QUITE OBVIOUSLY FROM THE SEAM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, HE SAID NO. I THEN WAS TOLD TO CONTACT FORD AND I ASKED IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN THROUGH A RECALL FIX BACK IN 1993. I HARDLY THINK THAT A FUEL TANK THAT WAS REPAIRED WOULD START LEAKING 6 YEARS LATER, ESPECIALLY FROM THE SEAM ON THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WAS UP AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM. DEAR SIRS, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND A WIFE WHO DEPEND ON ME TO PROVIDE THE BEST CARE AND PROTECTION. HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM COMPANIES THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETBOOK. *AK
