1995 MERCURY TRACER Complaints

FUEL TANK IS LEAKING, CONSUMER IS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

MY DATES/ MILEAGE ARE NOT ACCURATE, BUT INFO OTHERWISE IS CORRECT. DO I NEED ACCIDENT REPORT FOR AIR BAG DATE? I AM SCARRED FROM THE GAS AND THE AIRBAG SEAM THAT RIPPED MY WRISTS OPEN FROM THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE BAGS DURING THIS ACCIDENT. I WAS QUITE INFECTED. ALSO, MY GAS TANK CRACKED A FEW YEARS AGO AND MY EX-BEAU USED BOAT PUTTY FOR PLASTIC BOAT GAS TANKS TO FIX IT UNTIL I COULD HANDLE IT. IT HELD WELL UNTIL NOW AND HAS CRACKED FURTHER IN THE SAME AREA. PUTTY IS NOT HOLDING ANY LONGER. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO REPLACE THE TANK RECENTLY WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I AM STILL ELIGIBLE FOR A REPLACEMENT TANK PER THE RECALL OF 1997 AND FOR REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS. AFTER MY ACCIDENT I DID HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED BUT WONDER IF THE SAME YR AND MODEL OF AIRBAG MAY BE INSTALLED. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP. I NEED TO HANDLE MY AIR BAGS & TANK AS I CAN PUT LESS THAN $7 IN GAS AT A TIME OR IT LEAKS AND EATS ASPHALT AWAY ON THE STREET AND IN PARKING SPACES. THE SMELL AND DANGER IS AT A HIGH LEVEL. PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY.THANKS AGAIN. DT
