Smelled gasoline odor inside vehicle after cranking on a cold day. I drove it for several miles. I parked it. I was in building for about 15 minutes. When I came out, I smelled gas outside vehicle. After leaving I then took vehicle to crossroads ford quicklane in cary nc. They found the plastic fuel line had split lenghtwise on top of fuel tank. They told me it was spraying gas. Part was apparantly defective. I am sure it could have caused a major fire or explosion because of being not far from exhaust pipe. Part replaced was 9l3z-9s278-b. I am wondering if there have been unexplained fires or explosions because of this. Repair cost was $569.89

Gas smell in the cabin by model year
What owners say
On my truck the passenger side exhaust manifold has rusted and the rear bolts have rusted off. This has caused the manifold to leak right at the exhaust port. This leak fills the cab of the vehicle with exhaust fumes. It is also leaking pre-catalyst exhaust. The fuels in the cab are a serious safety issue and well as an emissions issue. Research on the internet shows this is a very common problem on ford trucks of this era. Talking to ford about this they offer a very small discount on the service if I have it done at the dealer. I have had trucks for years and never had a problem like this before. My truck is a 2010 ford f150 with 106,000 miles on it.
Strong exhaust fumes in cab since fall 2016 dealer unable and/or unwilling to deal with it. I was told to have a window open and air circulation active. However the A/C is affected now also. I am not comfortable driving this vehicle since it gives me a headache in a short time
Started driving this truck and exhaust fumes stated smelling in the truck. Causing my family to seek medical attention.

Called ford about a recall on the capless fuel fill that appears to affect many other vehicles; gave them my VIN and they replied 'there is no recall on your VIN'. Asked if they had issues w/ the capless fuel system and they would not respond. Also smell gas fumes when I first enter the garage area in the morning after parking the truck overnight w/ garage door closed.
