What owners say
I went to work this morning and parked car I had a half a tank of gas and 8 hours later when I got off of work the gas gauge said that I had a full tank of gas. When I got home and parked car I smelled a lot of fumes and gas.
Check fuel inlet came on. Then engine light several days later. The gas gauge will not read the level of gas. Now the check engine light is coming on. The dealer said it is not covered under emissons. And it sure is. These fumes are getring in the air. And the valve is not working causing the gas can to get metal which will in turn tear this up .
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel. The vehicle was taken to raymond chevrolet (118 il-173, antioch, il 60002, (800) 989-5939) where they stated there was a lifetime warranty on the fuel pump module, filler hole, and fuel tank, which were replaced. After the repair, the fuel gauge failed to provide accurate readings. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, which resulted in a dispute about whether or not the fuel gauge indicator was damaged by the mechanic. The dealer threatened to charge the contact for the repairs. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 220,000.
Fuel level drops dramatically, the fuel indicator will drop up to 20 miles per every mile of actual mileage. Gas seems to be leaking and odometers will skip numbers.
