| Since it has gotten colder, the car start and you have to sit with your foot on the gas pedal for 5 or 10 mins or the car will stall out when you try to put out of where ever you are. dangerous! mechanic can't seem to find the problem, they think its a sensor but are not sure. *tr | |||

| When i filled my car with gas it started to overflow out of the top through the gas cap area and pour out of the bottom. i had my father check it about an hour later while it was parked and he couldn't find a leak. we determined the automatic stop on the pump must have failed. i went to put $20 of gas in it two days ago and once again it was pouring out of the bottom. since i didn't fill it up this time, i knew it had to be my car and not the pump. i had my mechanic look at it and he determined the fuel filler hose has rusted through all the way to the plastic cover around it. he told me my car is safe to be driven but not to put gas in. i've ordered the $184 part to repair it and am currently waiting for it to come in to the dealer. i found many complaints of this incident but no official recalls by ford. did i miss something somewhere? it seems to me if there are that many problems with this particular part of the car, ford would have done a recall. *tr | |||

| Fuel neck began to leak, within 2 weeks it was loosing almost a gallon of fuel on a $20.00 fill. i contacted ford twice, i was told to take it to a ford dealership, i got an attitude from the dealership so i spent the $110.00 on a ford part and $180.00 on the labor at another service station. advised ford of the safety hazard, apparently didn't concern them enough to contact me and make good on the repairs. *tr | |||
