Complaint Filed Tuesday 18:14 hrs 12/06/2022. On 12/02/2022 I had a diagnosis at Marcotte Ford Holyoke, MA done my vehicle because it failed Massachusetts emissions CEL. Diagnose came back with the same description as the damaged fuel system and suspension which RECALLS, which should have been fixed before I registered the vehicle on 11/22/2022. I fear for my safety of fuel leak and suspension crash. I would hate to think a reputable Ford dealer would jeopardize my safety for a few extra dollars for holiday spending. I have found a different repairman for the faulty brake power booster & Mass Air Flow Sensor the A & Z Autos dealer /A & Z Auto Repair placed in my vehicle. Ms. Sharon-Shawn A. Bell

The interior of my car filled with gas fumes after filling the tank on11/4/2019. I called don hinds ford the next morning and dropped it off that evening. The service department inspected it and found that the gas tank was leaking. The gas tank had been replaced due to a recall just 15 months ago. Ford refuses to replace, stating hat the warranty is expired. We have asked our dealership to complete the repairs. My concern is that ford motor company replaced defective gas tanks with defective gas tanks. Ford customer service suggested that I take it to an "authorized ford service provider" even after I told them that it was already at a authorized ford sevice provider...even though my car is leaking gas and could catch fire, even though I told them that my car's interior was filled with gas fumes.

My car started leaking transmission fluid, and as I continue to drive it it started to cut off. I took it to two different repair shops for second opinion. They both told me that the engine was gone. The car has less than 50,000 miles on it, and it's a 2010 how can that be? I need to know about the engine recall for this car. I should not have to pay for an engine please help me because this is not right. I know there is a safety recall on a fuel leak for this model car. I've also researched somethings about engine recalls and found that there is, but I want to know for sure when I take the car to the ford repair shop. Please help me. I am thanking you in advance for your help.

Please note that this vehicle was originally purchased in the us and then purchased second hand by myself in late 2010 and registered in ontario canada since. On about the entered date I identified strong gasoline smell and some leakage below the gas tank. I investigated ford recall info and found that the car was subject to a recall for leaking gas tanks (ford # 15s31), (the federal safety agency item listing date 2015-10-27). After calling local dealers in both canada and us, I was informed by both that my particular VIN did not appear on the recall list. I called both canadian and us ford customer service and again they only confirmed that my vine did not appear on the list. The recall criteria states that edges built before july 2010 are part of the recall. My build date is late 2009 and fits the criteria. Also among the us states and canadian provinces that fit the criteria, ontario is one of the recalled provinces. This also qualifies my vehicle. No one has given me an answer why my car does not qualify. Presently, the car is a potential fire hazard, which I cannot drive and which is endangering my property and family and that of my neighbors. The repair is expensive and I am reluctant to proceed with it on the simple hope that ford will reimburse me. (note: the selection of michigan for my address is in error, complete canadian address appears on city line.)
