#702159January 12, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
VEHICLE ONLY HAD 4500 MILES ON ON THE ODOMETER WHEN I DETECTED A FUEL LEAK. THE FUEL WAS DRIPPING OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHERE THE FILLER PIPE CONNECTED TO THE TANK. I WAS ON VACATION AND HAD JUST DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2000 MILES FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA AN EXPLOSION COULD HAVE OCCURED IF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANY SPARKS OR A CIGARETTE WAS DISCARDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP IN HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA WHERE IT REMAINED OVERNIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS THE THIRD VEHICLE THEY ENCOUNTERED LEAKING FUEL THAT WEEK. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAN CAUSE FATALITIES OR SERIOUS INJURY. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE RENTAL CAR THAT I OBTAINED AND TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE. I WORK AT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE FORD WANTS TO STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR PRODUCT.
