Fuel started pumping OUT of the gas cap at a relatively high rate while driving on the freeway. When I stopped, fuel continued to pump out onto the ground until I turned off the engine. I went to loosen the gas cap to see what was going on and gas blew out onto me and on the ground (I would estimate 1-2 cups of fuel at least). This is an older vehicle- but extremely dangerous and I believe a serious safety issue. I found out from a local mechanic that Ford issued a recall on my vehicle (recall number 91S39 / case #91V146000). However, Ford never notified me of the recall and both my local dealer and Ford's national service hotline claim they don't know anything about this safety recall and that they are not responsible since the vehicle is considerably out of warranty. My understanding is that there are no time limits on safety recall repairs. I am complaining because my fuel supply failure fits the description EXACTLY as what is described in this safety recall and my vehicle is clearly one of the listed / affected vehicles as stated in Ford's own safety recall documentation.
