I own a 1995 mercury villager. I purchased the vehicle from a used car dealer. Since I purchased this vehicle three years ago, I have had a recurrent problem with smelling gas fumes in the passenger compartment of the van. I have taken the van to a ford dealership, an independent mechanic, a chevrolet dealership, and an independent service station. No one seems to be able to locate the source of the gas smell. I am concerned about my safety and the safety of my children. Gas fumes are volatile, and if they are strong enough for me to detect the odor, then I feel the van is unsafe to drive. I have tried several times to have the problem repaired, but no one seems able to detect the source of the problem. I have contacted ford motor company directly, but I received very little information from them. I have read several complaints on the internet of other vehicle owners with the same problem. I have read where other vehicle owners have contacted ford motor company regarding this problem. When I called ford, they told me they had received no other complaints of this type. I feel there is a problem that should be investigated. My main concern is the safety issue of driving a defective vehicle.
