Description of the problem | The fuel tank began leaking gas due to faulty design of the plastic tank. There is a recall issued for this problem but from some unknown reason this car's vin number is not included even though it was built in hermosillo, mexico and is currently registered in california which are both criteria of the recall. I contacted fords customer relations dept. And they refuse to repair the vehicle or explain why it is not included with the recall. |
