problem #1

Escort 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 79,000 miles
Fuel started leaking. Car taken to garage. Garage deterimined the plastic fuel tank cracked near a retainer fitting at the front of the tank directly under the center of the rear passenger seat. Contacted dealership to determine safety recall status. This problem is noted by Ford as a sfety recall but does not include my vehicle by virtue of its VIN. I live in South Texas with all of the associated high temperatures identified in Ford's research and safety investigations into these tank failures. Dealer refuses to replace tank as a safety recall. Plase advise what I do next. Car is unsafe to operate.
