| 1997 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS | WE HEARD A CLUNKING SOUND IN THE REAR END. TOOK TO THE MECHANIC AND THE REAR SPRINGS ARE COMPLETELY SHATTERED.*AK |
| 1995 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY | ON JULY 9, 2000 WE REALIZED WE HAD A FUEL LEAK. THE NIGHT BEFORE I HAD FILLED THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL AND ON JULY 9, 2000 WHEN WE GOT INTO THE CAR IT HAD ONLY 3/8 TANK OF GAS. THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN .5 MILES SINCE THE FILL UP. ON JULY 11, 2000 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY AND SAID I HAD A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK. THE MECHANIC SAID THE PART SHOULD BE IN THE NEXT DAY AND THE CAR READY THE NEXT AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD BE JULY 13, 2000. BEFORE NOON ON JULY 13, 2000 THE MECHANIC CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THE FUEL TANK WAS ON BACKORDER AND HAD NO CLUE WHEN IT WOULD BE IN. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS ON THE EXACT MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY CAR; HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED. YOUR COMPLAINT FILE HAS OVER 24 COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME THING AND THEY WERE ALSO NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY FUEL TANK HAS BEEN ON BACKORDERED FOR 33 DAYS, WHY ARE THEY IN SUCH DEMAND?? IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE 1995 FORD ESCORTS. IT IS GOING ON THE 6TH WEEK SINCE I TURNED MY CAR INTO THE DEALER. IT HAS BEEN 33 DAYS SINCE THE DAY THE FUEL TANK WAS ORDERED AND STILL NO IDEA ON WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BACK.*AK |
