Ford sent a recall letter in December 2016 reporting a possible crack in the fuel supply port that could result in a fire. Recall #16S41/NHTSA # 16V-777. I contacted the Ford dealership repeatedly over the last year and have been told there were no parts to fix the recall and they would notify when parts became available. Now nearly 1 1/2 years later, after multiple contacts, I'm told that Ford still has not provided parts for the fix. Further, calls to the dealer and to Ford result in promises but no action.

Contacted Ford about owning this recalled vehicle over 14 months ago and several times since that date...an was told that a year later the part to repair was still unavailable. I feel that this type of negligence and the safety risk that it subjects me and my family to is seriously unacceptable. It shocks me that the NHTSA has allowed this to continue for this length of time.I was under the impression that it was your responsibility to maintain safety for the consumer...apparently that is not the case in this instance.

Vehicle is leaking gasoline from or near the fuel tank. The leak appears to be located near the fuel filler assembly. The leak produces strong odour of gasoline in cabin and around vehicle both when in motion and when stopped. A large wet stain under the tank was visible after the vehicle was parked on gravel for about five hours, with a strong odour of gasoline. (note on the attached photo of the fuel tank id badge, some information is cut off. On the left the second from the bottom line reads "shift 3". the bottom line reads "Oct 26 2010 10:45pm")

I was driving down the highway cruising at 80mph when all of a sudden the gas pedal stopped working. The car was still running but even when I would put the gas pedal to the floor it would not give it any acceleration. A small wrench sign popped up on the dash and I pulled over to the side L. when the car was in idle the engine was very shaky and rpms were going up and down so I shut the engine off. I sat for roughly 5minutes and then tried to restart the vehicle it started no issues. Put the car in drive and the gas pedal was working again no issues so continued to dinner. On the way home took 95 but was going 55-65 taking caution in case the car stops working again. To no surprise it did so I pulled over sat for 2 minutes and restarted with no issues and finished driving home.
