Description of the problem | My vehicle was part of recall nhtsa 18s32. My vehicle was serviced at tuscaloosa ford in tuscaloosa, al in 2019. At the time i took the car in my gas fuel needle would drop to empty periodically. When i picked the car up, everything appeared repaired however when i was leaving the dealership the needle dropped to empty. I had not gotten out of the parking lot of the dealership. I returned to the service department and was told to just continue monitoring the problem and keep my tank half full. I called to check on replacement of the gas tank on 1/25/21, as i had run out of gas because life got in my way and i had failed to monitor close enough. I have now been told that the day my car was pick d up and i was told to continue monitoring, that it was determined i did not need a new gas tank. This is bull!!! I have monitored this problem for two years now and my vehicle will obviously be useless as a trade-in. I cannot be the only person that should have gotten a new tank under 18s32 and did not. Please review this complaint. I do not recall the date my vehicle was repaired under this recall so choose may1, 2019. |
