2008 Ford Edge FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Had 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD looked at while servicing for oil etc. Fuel smell noted at rear of vehicle. When looked at noticed wet fuel tank. Fuel tank is still on vehicle. (Ford wants $4400 to replace it) Independent shop JP Automotive in North Haven CT and Bob Thomas Ford in Hamden CT confirm tank is leaking. Bob Thomas Ford says not part of Ford TSB #14S22 (NHTSA #10076517) or Ford TSB #14R02 (NHTSA #10076296) A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Causing danger to myself, my passengers, and others on the road. No warning lamps etc. Just a fuel smell at the rear of the vehicle that started.

Safety Recall [XXX] My vehicle falls into this recall yet the dealership and ford is saying it dose not. The vehicle was built at the Oakville Assembly Plant during the time of recall specs. I believe June 2007. The vehicle is in Wisconsin which also falls into the recall specs. The fuel tank has the leak in the areas spoke of in the recall, Ford is not doing anything about it. We received a case number 6 months ago and never heard back from them. This is a serious issue. The dealership gave us a estimate of almost $4000. something we can not afford. Please help. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel neck rusted out under mount bracket causing fuel to drip on hot muffler. Fire hazard could cause a fire

Vehicle has corrosion and is leaking gas. Recalls are shown for vehicle and supposedly fixed. Ford says they will not re open a recall and state recall is not for my car

THE GAS TANK IS SLOW LEAK HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS. ALSO THE SLOW HAS INCREASED

IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE TOXIC FUMES AND FUEL LEAKAGE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA. MOST PREVALENT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. NOTICED WHILE IN TRANSIT OR WHILE STATIONARY. DANGEROUS INHILATION TO PASSENGERS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED HEADACHES AND LABORED BREATHING. THIS ERROR WAS OCCURRING IN PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND OPENING THE EARLIER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS NECESSARY FOR SAFETY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. DIRECT CONTACT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT PERFECTED A SOLUTION TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM.

WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING IT LEAKS FUEL FROM THE GAS TANK OR THE SEALS, OR THE BRACKETS. WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO FILL IT A HALF TANK AT A TIME. EVEN THEN, TURNING A CORNER TOO SHARP WILL CAUSE THE SMELL AND LEAKAGE OF FUEL. WE CALLED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT SEE HOW THERE IS NOT. IT RANDOMLY STARTED HAPPENING ONE DAY. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR A WHILE NOW. HOPING THAT A RECALL WOULD COME UP OR SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION.

MY FUEL TANK LEAKS . IT ONLY LEAKS WHEN I FILL MY TANK WITH GAS. I HAVE TO IT AT HALF A TANK

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE WITH A GAS TANK LEAK, THE GAS TANK NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE INSIDE BEING COMPLETELY RUSTED AND EROSION. THERE IS A RECALL 14V682000 - HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THIS RECALL ALTHOUGH IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN CONNECTICUT, IT WAS BUILT AT THE OAKVILLE ASSEMBLY PLANT. I WAS INFORMED BY FORD THAT IT MAY BE INCLUDED AT A LATER DATE. THAT IS NOT HELPING ME WHEN MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF SERVICE NOW AND HAS TO BE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COGGIN FORD JACKSONVILLE (9650 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225 (904) 747-8996) FOR THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FUEL TANK WAS REPAIRED WITH A WAX SEAL. ONE MONTH LATER THE CONTACT NOTICED A LARGE FUEL LEAK FROM UNDER THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND GOT A RETURN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER TRIED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT $1,600 FOR THE FUEL TANK EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER A 12 MONTH 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT GOT A CASE FROM THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL WARRANTY. THE MANAGER AT CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND HUNG UP ON THE CONTACT. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS AND WAS STILL UNREPAIRED. THE CONTACT JUST SPOKE TO THE DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK FOR THE REPAIRS AND TO COME TOW HIS VEHICLE AWAY AND FIX IT HIMSELF WITH A USED PART.

I DID NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL WAS PRODUCED I HAVE OWN THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS GAS LEAKING FROM THE BRACKET OF THE GAS TANK. ONCE IN PARK YOU CAN EITHER SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE THE GAS HAS BEEN LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND

FUEL IS LEAKING, 1 BELIEVE FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, BUT LEFT ON FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED AND REVERSED OUT THE PARKING SPOT I NOTICED A PUDDLE AT THE BACK END OF THE PARKING SPOT. I SMELLED THE PUDDLE AND IT WAS FUEL.

I WAS IN MOTION HEADING TO WORK, AS I WAS APPROACHING A SIGNAL LIGHT , AND TAPPED THE BRAKES, I STARTED TO SMELL A RUBBER GAS LEAK SMELL. THIS IS HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS IVE HAD THE BRAKES CHANGE. STILL THE SMELL OF BURNT TAR OR GAS FUMES IS LOUD WHENEVER THE BRAKES, A/C, OR HEAT IS ON.

I WENT TO A FORD DEALER IN DOVER DELAWARE IN JANUARY 2016 TO HAVE THE FUEL TAN K INSPECTED FOR LEAKS. IT PASSED BUT WAS NOT UPDATED IN THE SAFECAR RECALL DATABASE.

REC'D INITIAL SAFETY RECALL (14S22) LETTER DEC. 2014 & 2ND NOTICE APRIL 2016 FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED BY MY AUTHORIZED DEALER, RAMSEY FORD. MAY 16TH RAMSEY'S PPWORK INDICATES THE A SEALANT WAS APPLIED. MY VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION THIS APRIL BECAUSE THE GAS TANK WAS CORRODED AND LEAKING GAS! I CALLED FORD & SPOKE TO THEIR CUST. SER. REP, WHO REFUSED TO ACCEPT THAT THIS TANK WAS NOT REPAIRED PROPERLY & THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT AT NO COST. THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TANK, BUT THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO INCLUDE WITH THIS FORM!
