Having a fuel leak where the tank is strapped to the vehicle. Ford has a recall on this issue, but unfortunately not for my VIN number. I expect Ford to make this right. It is too coincidental to have the same problem but not be covered for a recall. I cannot afford in any way the cost of the repairs for this problem. Please advise.

I realize this is not a new issue, but it needs to be addressed. The first notification from Ford motor CO. Regarding the 2011 recall for faulty gas tank straps was received the week of October 20th 2014, although I have owned the vehicle for over a year. An appointment was made with brondes Ford in maumee, ohio the following week. The vehicle, which was having no issues at all, was left with ~$900 in damage. The faulty straps had corroded through to the gas tank, and so when they were removed, left holes in the gas tank. In researching this issue, this consequence has been rampant among these repairs, yet neither Ford nor their dealers' service departments will cover the damage! so a truck that was in perfect working condition was rendered useless. How can Ford be responsible for the straps but not the resulting damage they cause? I get that my truck is old, but if replacing the straps runs the risk of causing damage the owner will be liable for, it should be clearly outlined! the notion that only the faulty straps are Ford's liability is negligent. My hope is this issue will be readdressed with Ford and the owners reimbursed for the damages caused by Ford and its agents. Thank you.

Fuel tank fell off of truck while driving down the road. Causing the fuel tank to hit the ground and fuel to leak out of tank. Fire dept. Had to come clean up mess. Had truck towed to dealer for service. Found out after that straps where recalled by Ford. Ford refuses to pay for the tank, the clean up, or the tow. They told me I had been notified and they would only pay for the straps. I find it funny that the didn't have any of my inf before I gave it to them. So how did they notify me.
The straps on the fuel tank completely broke off as I was driving on the turnpike and the fuel tank fell down; causing it to drag on the road leaking out gas.
Rear fuel tank strap corroded through and broken, approximately 6 inches of driver side missing. Rear of tank was being supported by fill and vent tubes only. Front strap was intact but corroded.
I had an appointment at donley Ford in ashland, ohio mon. , 11-11-12 at 6 pm. , to have the fuel tank straps replaced on my F-150 per the recall. When the technician removed the straps, the tank started leaking. When contacting Ford, they deny any responsibility for this problem. A quick search on the internet shows that many others have had the same experience. My truck was previously owned my brother and has been taken well care off. The technician even commented on its condition. The tank is in perfect condition except some rusting where the straps were. After searching the internet, I am sure that you have heard this complaint before. I am simply adding one more. Not only is there a potential for the straps to break, allowing the tank to fall, they also corrode the tank, causing it to leak fuel.
After dealer completed safety recall 11s21 fuel tank straps, tank began to leak fuel. Ford refuses to acknowledge that this is a safety issue to fix broken fuel tank after recall work. There response to me was if the tank fell off the truck it would be covered, this has happened to many f150's hence the reason for the safety strap recall.
The gas tank on my 2000 Ford F-150 just fell off this afternoon. The gas tank straps were very rusty. It was towed to bob boyd Ford in lancaster, ohio.
Gas tank fell from truck while driving appx. 35 mph. Fuel spilled onto the road and when flames were seen in rearview mirror my son jump out and a young man on the sidewalk ran out onto the road and stomped the fire out before it could trail up to the truck itself. The tank straps rusted completed through. No longer supporting the tank. Police and fire truck arrived but no report was written to my knowledge by the wooster city ohio responding units.
I own a 2000 Ford f 150 that I bought used back in February. We got it home and checked it out and found the broken strap. We have one fuel tank strap that is rusted and broke. The other one is rusted but not broke as of now.
My straps that hold my fuel tank has rusted (rotted of). I have now got a strap holding my fuel tank up until I can get these replaced. I believe that this is a huge issue.
Fuel tank straps rusted and fell off of the truck. The part was most likely of poor quality as the truck is 10 years old.
To whom it may concern, my grandfather [xxx] bought a 2000 Ford F-150 on 12-15-08. On sept. 24,2010 he and my grandmother was driving back home when a person started flagging them down. Both gas tank straps had failed and the gas tank was dragging on the ground and leaking gasoline, luckily they stopped, and the tank did not explode. The police and fire department was called out. The repair shop said that the straps were rusted and corroded which caused the straps to fail. My grandfather said that the dealer had informed him that the previous owner had garage kept it, and he has also kept it in a garage since he had purchased it. The tank and straps had to be replaced and the repair cost was $524. 29. I wish there would have been a notice sent out to the consumers about the 32 claims. This could have gave the consumer notice to have it checked out, prior to the failure. If the tank would have exploded, I could have lost both of my grandparents. If you need to contact me or my grandfather please contact me by e-mail address [xxx] and I will give out our phone numbers.
