1991 Escort - 47K miles - smell of raw gas for some time. finally discovered it was the Tank leaking now to the point that the concentration could, or if parked in the garage potentially cause a fire.....local dealer don't give a "D**m" and will have to pay.....
Might park in garage and get lucky.....

Do you drive a 1991 FORD ESCORT?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
