What owners say
We bought this vehicle a week ago. Every time we park in the garage there is a strong gas smell but no sign of leaking gas under the vehicle. 2008s were recalled for leaking seam in fuel tank but this one is not?
I can smell fuel coming from the rear of the car. Sometimes it leaks enough to leave stains on the street. Took it to metro ford of oklahoma city and they said my car was not included in any type of recall. After reading about the recall ford issued on many previous models, I feel that my problem is being avoided and they aren't concerned about my family's safety. Very upset. Why is my gas tank leaking fuel?
I can smell gas at the rear of my car. I had my struts serviced and the mechanic noticed corrosion and a fuel leak.he didn't want to drop the tank to get a closer look fr fear it would void a recall repair. I checked for a recall and noted there was one for certain 2009 edge's but my VIN didn't show one.
