Description of the problem | Takata gas tank recall: last year at 68,000 miles i took my car into dealership for gas tank recall. It was repaired and there were no more problems until about a week ago. My vehicle now has 82,000 miles on it. It started jerking and stalling a lot and i realized in the past week i had stopped to get gas every day on my way to work. I have put a total of $55 in to drive 300 miles. I started noticing the miles to empty dropping rapidly just driving less than 1 mile. I took it to the local ford dealership who did not perform a diagnostics test and told me to come pick the vehicle up, the recall was already performed a year ago. So i called ford motor company to complain about this peoblem and was told i could only have that problem fixed once! They told me they would open a case#cas22299572 and i would hear back in 1 business day. I am in the process of moving and i can't go to work for fear of the car "blowing up" especially with it being 100 degrees outside. Why is nothing being done with all the problems we as ford focus owners have been dealing with? Our lives and our family's lives are at stake here. I have lot jobs, been worried sick, not to mention the time i have wasted taking my vehicle in for tge same thing time after time after time. This has been ingoing for 4 years with the transmission and gas tank problems. Why is ford not offering some kind of compensation to those of us affected by a vehicle they knew had problems before they were put on the market to sell! I just don't understand and now in the process of moving expenses, i will have to get a rental car so ai don't blow up. Please help! |
