| Fuel line rusted out and leaked gasoline onto pavement, under driver's seat. this event was not caused by an accident, and did not cause an accident. this event did create a fire hazard, but it was caught in time. my car is in the dealer's repair shop 13+ days now and still awaiting repair, because the manufacturer (ford) has the new fuel line part on national back order and refuses to fulfill my dealer's order for a new part. please help me get my car fixed. please note also that this same car model was involved in a prior mandatory recall in 1996 for a faulty ignition switch causing a fire in the steering column, and this same car was one of the cars reported to you that had actually caught on fire. ford refuses to recall this car. i think another mandatory recall for this new problem is needed now. | |||
