Windstar 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,200 miles
My 1995 Ford Windstar, VIN # [xxx], bought in November 2000 from koon's sterling, va, has a leaking fuel tank. The leak is in the vicinity of the middle strap and fuel leakage occurs when the tank is half filled. However, there is a fuel odor all the time and this odor has been there since I purchased the vehicle. I believe that my vehicle has the same defective fuel tank which was the subject of a regional recall 99R33 by Ford in 1999 and it should, therefore, be replaced free of charge by Ford. However, when I took the vehicle to the Ford dealer they got in touch with a Ford representative who told them that my vehicle was not purchased in the regions where the recall was directed and Ford would not repair it free of charge. I'd like the NHTSA to give me an opinion on the matter. Thanks. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
