WHENEVER I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I AM TOLD THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON IS NO BIG DEAL AND THE BRAKES AND TIRES WERE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR (THE CAR WAS MAYBE A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF OLD) THEY ALSO TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE GAS TANK NOT FILLING UP.

MY CAR IS GOING INTO THE SHOP AGAIN FOR WHAT I THINK MAY BE THE SENSORS (THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE) THE ONLY DIFFERANCE IS THAT THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET, I HAVE CONTACTED LEMON LAW, THE DEALERSHIP, FORD, AND THE BANK HOLDING THE LEASE. LEMON LAW CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME I RECEIVED SERVICE WITH A SMILE INSTEAD OF AN ATTITUDE. EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.
