My car is leaking fuel. I am unable to pass the smog. I called ford and they said they already 'inspected' my fuel tank in 2016 and it was fine so they don't have to fix it now. This was recalled. It is effecting my car and they need to repair it. Just because it wasn't happening before doesn't mean they should not be responsible for this problem now that it has happened and my car is affected by this recall. They are refusing to fix it.
