Description of the problem	This is regarding the recall for the straps holding the gas tank on the ford f150 . Ford replaced the straps in feb. Of 2012, but never said anything about the corrosion on the gas tank that was caused from the faulty straps.. A few months after the repair the gas tank started to leak due to the rust where the straps were. I brought the vehicle back to my ford dealership and they told me that the gas tank was not warranteed under the recall. This is rather confusing. If the faulty straps which ford agreed to replace caused the gas tank to rust and leak, why would this not be included in the recall?? The faulty straps caused the corrosion of the gas tank. This is clearly explained in the nhtsa website. I was forced to accept aftermarket parts in order to avoid the full price of approximately $2,000 for repair. It is obvious that i am not the only ford 150 owner who has been forced to replace their corroded gas tank due to defective straps on ford's part. We all know a leaky gas tank is the recipe for disaster - death. My final cost was $540 - only because i agreed to use aftermarket parts. This entire situation is a disgrace. I am considering bringing this matter to the attention of the media. Shame on ford.
