2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2010

I had an accident on December 22, 2010 I called my insurance company and they send me to the hospital and the vehicle to the Ford dealership in brownsville, TX for the reason that is the only dealership with a body shop department, the took longer than expected to fix the vehicle and they refused to provide with a rental vehicle, the first time I picked up the vehicle I was not satisfied, the seat belts on the driver side were not working and the door was not closing properly, the open door light was always "on" the dashboard, they again refused to provide a rental vehicle, the second time I picked up the vehicle on February of 2011, they changed the gas gage and did not replaced the gas tank. The gas tank was a 10 gallon tank and now is only a 8 gallon tank, and I'm sure they charged my insurance company for it. This put me at risk, I can not drive long distance on a 8 gallon tank, this is a security issue and overall this situation puts me under a lot of stress, I was considering sell this car to get a new one, but the value will decrease for the fact that the vehicle does not have a 10 gallon gas tank. After the accident and all the problems I went thru I was under depression and I even had to resign to my job, my emotional depression will not allow me to focus on work . For all this reasons I will like for you to review my case and help me. I had a terrible experience with Ford and with the service provided and I will like for them to compensate me for all the time, money and emotional distress they caused me.
