Description of the problem | I have a recall for possible deformed fuel tank. It is making my car stall at any time to include using cruise control or stopped at a light. The issue is known by my local ford dealership. Their advice is to keep the gas tank filled above half but i have stalled after driving 30 miles after filling up. I had them inspect my car and they said everything looked fine. I asked about the stalling and they said wait for the software. I guess they expect that i walk to work until they fix the issue. I had a local mechanic look at it and they recommend i wait for the recall because they are unsure if the part will fix the problem without the software. I already had to rent a car for a family emergency and dont want to get stranded while driving to work because i am forced to drive a faulty car with no fix. I can afford to buy or rent a car until an unknown date. |
