ENGINEER'S MISTAKE? REPAIRS HAD TO BE MADE AND CHARGE WAS $1414. CONTACTED FORD COMPLAINT DIV. JULY 20. THEY HAVE NOT REPLIED OR ANSWER MY COMPLAINT. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO, HOWEVER SEEMS AS IT HAS GONE UNNOTICED. MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED VEHICLE AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THE FILTER, DO TO OWNERS RELUCTANCE TO CHANGE FILTER ON A REGULAR BASIS, BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA COST TO DROP THE FUEL TANK TO ACCESS THE FUEL FILTER AND PUMP. I AM SURE OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, BUT IGNORED IT AND HAD THEIR VEHICLE FIXED. AGAIN WITH LOSS OF POWER GOING UP A HILL AND STALLING IN FRONT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH IF ONE WOULD BE REAR ENDED. AGAIN...
