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.

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.
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!
