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.

I have a 2010 ford edge with 38,153 miles. In the last onw month I have had the torque converter replaced (under warranty) and now I just had the throttle body and motor asy. Replaced for $691.03. I smelled gasoline and the engine hesitated so, I took it into autonation in delray, fl. For repair. The service person told me that this is a very common problem and I should keep my receipt for a recall in the future. I was lucky that the car did not explode with the fuel fumes. There needs to be a recall of this condition.

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.)

At about 116,000 miles on my 2010 ford edge se awd, I started noticing the smell of gas. When I brought the vehicle in to get checked out I learned that my gas tank was leaking. This is a 2010! And what makes me even more furious is that the 2007-2008 ford edges have been recalled for this problem but not mine. Estimated cost of repairs are $3,000.
