Smelled raw gas from the truck this past weekend. Just purchased the tuck last month. I found that the seam on the gas tank is leaking gas. I transfed the fuel from the front tank to the rear,which is also heavy rusted. I contacted the dealer, the cost for a new tank is $175.00 for the front and a little less for the rear plus labor and anyother parts that may be needed. I am very lucky that there was no fire as the tank was near full, within five gallons of full!!!! I understand that the dealer does nor want to cover this cost or even partake in it as so many reports of leaking tanks have surfaced, in fact they had another call the same morning for another leaking tank. Ford should be held to repair the tank problems before anyone is killed.

My vehicle was recalled by the federal safety agency for repair. I took my vehicle to the local dealership for repair. They said they did not have any recall from ford saying vehicle needed repaired and that I should wait for notification in the mail from the ford company. Strong gasoline fumes were beginning to emit from the engine and vehicle was continueing to stall while driving. I did not want my vehicle to catch fire and due to it stalling I had it repaired at my own cost. I called ford and asked if they had the recall and they still have no recall. My vehicle is coming up on the 8 year time limit for recall warranty. What should I do? Will I be refunded on my costs? The federal safety agency campaign id number is 00v424000 / another is 93v125000. Thank you.
