2008 Ford Focus Owner Comments

problem #1

Mar 122009

Focus SES 2.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 6,100 miles

At 6100 miles while driving on the freeway my gas tank fell out of my auto. I believe this problem is related to the earlier replacement of my fuel level sensor done at 2100 miles. I believe the dealer service department had a screw loose so to speak!. This was very disturbing to say the least!. The dealership sent a tow truck and repaired the tank. They also said We are sorry.
