Dt: the contact owns a 2002 ford taurus. On 10-05-05 he took vehicle dealer for a routine fuel filter change. On saturday 10-08-05 the car would not start. He saw a puddle of gas by the right rear wheel. He got down and looked under the car, and saw the hose that goes from the tank to the filter loosened. He pushed it back on. But on 10-10-05 he went to a gas station to have a mechanic look at it. The line came off the front of the filter was on , but the line coming from the gas tank on the rear was about to come off again. The mechanic pushed it back on securely. He drove the car home and called the dealership. That same day the line came off again. (from the gas tank to the filter). He put it back on and drove out to the dealer. When the mechanic came out the car would not start. The gas was pouring out again because the line had come off again. The mechanic went and got some new clips and put the new clips on. He has not had the problems since the clips were put on. He is not sure if this is a defective part or if maybe the mechanic that originally replaced the fuel filter did not properly follow ford's procedures.

My car has been in the shop about 3 times for a similar problem. Two times for the same exact thing. I go out to start the car and it doesn't start, the dealership service has put in a starter and a starter relay and it still don't want to start. They say they can't do anything about it unless it happens when they have the car.
