FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BY THE NHTSA FOR REPAIR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL FROM FORD SAYING VEHICLE NEEDED REPAIRED AND THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL FROM THE FORD COMPANY. STRONG GASOLINE FUMES WERE BEGINNING TO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE WAS CONTINUEING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I DID NOT WANT MY VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AND DUE TO IT STALLING I HAD IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN COST. I CALLED FORD AND ASKED IF THEY HAD THE RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE NO RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS COMING UP ON THE 8 YEAR TIME LIMIT FOR RECALL WARRANTY. WHAT SHOULD I DO? WILL I BE REFUNDED ON MY COSTS? THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 00V424000 / ANOTHER IS 93V125000. THANK YOU. *AK
