| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This complaint is to replace previous complaint #10023062. i am sorry for the inconvenience, i feel that i may have left out pertinent information. my vehicle was leaking fuel from the fuel tank pipe grommet. i took my vehicle to another auto repair service rather than the dealer where i had bought it. this auto repair service informed me of recall 00v350000. i then took the vehicle to the dealer where i bought the vehicle from. i had told them about the recall that i had learned about. they informed me that this recall was not for my particular vehicle. i understand that the dealership does not have my particular vehicle on recall for this problem. however, it seems a big coincidence that some other 2000 ford contour vehicles do and i have the same problem, yet my vehicle is not on the recall list. maybe there are more that do need to be recalled? i don't feel that i should have to pay for the repair when it may be a manufacturing problem. they have ordered the part for the car to repair it and we will pay the bill for repair. but i would like to have this investigated and maybe we can be reimbursed for the repair if it is found that my vehicle should have been on the recall list. i trust the dealer and do not wish for them to be reprimanded for this. i just want this to be investigated so others like myself to go through the wondering and suspicion. thank you for your assistance and patience. *nlm |
