THE FUEL LINE ASSEMBLY CHAFFED THROUGH. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 97V159000. FORD DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING, SAYS IT WAS FIXED IN 1999 ON THIS CAR. I HAVE THE PART AND IT IS WORN THRU FROM CHAFFING THE FLOOR PAN JUST LIKE THE RECALL SAID. FUEL LEAKED OUT UNDER PRESSURE AND I'M LUCKY NO FIRE DEVELOPED. I FEEL THIS RECALL WAS EITHER NOT DONE OR NOT DONE PROPERLY, THERE WAS NOT CHAFF MATERIAL ON THE LINES AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL.

YOUR SITE SAYS THERE ARE 3 RECALLS ON MY CAR BUT FORD SAYS THERE ARE NONE ON MY CAR BUT I KNOW THERES AT LEAST ONE BECAUS I HAD IT FIXED BYE THEM (THE FULE LINE RECALL I HAD FIXED BYE THEM ) THAY CLAME THE OUTHER 2 RECALLS DONT APPLIY TO MY CAR IS THIS TRUE OR ARE THAY HIDDING SOMETHING OR JUST DONT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THE RECALL PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU
