Passenger compartment is filled with gasoline fumes! fire hazard/ health risk/ cancer risk!!! Ford is aware that the part is defective but has refused to recall. Ford has a replacement part available but refuses to replace at no charge. Refer to Ford technical service bulletin article 97-13-6 for evidence that Ford is aware of the problem! evidence that Ford knows the welds on the vapor vent weld are defective and Ford has a replacement part #F4bz-9B593-a. this is a dangerous situation and can lead to severe consequences for Ford if an individual is either injured or killed. NHTSA is responsible for enforcing a recall where a dangerous situation exists to the citizens who drive these vehicles and a simple replacement solution does exist!!! also, NHTSA is currently aware that this hazard exists, but do you expect Ford to replace these parts voluntarily" not!!!! I would appreciate action on the part of NHTSA or should I take this issue to the media and let their consumer advocates have fun putting Ford and the NHTSA on the hot seat in front of millions of viewers? what do you think"
