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.
