2007 Ford Edge FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I have a fuel leak, brought it to my standard shop and they informed me that the fuel tank has rusted through from the top of the fuel tank and needs a complete replacement. I have called Ford and they explained that my vehicle was inspected inspected recall 14s22 in March of 2016 and deemed no repair was needed, so no additional repair would be covered.

FOR 2-3 WEEKS, SMELLED GAS VAPORS WHEN WE GOT NEAR THE CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE. I GOT UNDER THE CAR AND TOOK A PHOTO OF A RUST SPOT WITH GAS STAINING NEAR IT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PART OF A RECALL (14V682000) BUT OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY TOOK CARE OF THE RECALL ON ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS VISITS. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW GAS TANK.

AFTER I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK TWO DAYS LATER WHEN THE CAR PARKED.. I NOTICE A STRONG GAS SMELL NEAR THE REAR LEFT TIRE. I LOOKED DOWN TO FOUND OUT IT WAS THE GAS TANK LEAKING FROM THE TOP. 2007 FORD EDGE GAS TANK LEAKS
