I filled the gas tank on the way home and parked in the garage. Next day the garage has strong smell of gas and a tiny puddle on the ground. Googled and saw ford had recall in 2016. Book appointment with ford and drove car in. They say car was inspected in 2016, charge $135 for inspection then ask for approx $1000 to replace the fuel pump. I decline and seek another shop. Drive car home and the worst is much worst. Have car towed to new shop. New shop says fuel pump is fine, but the tank has a leak on top (which is what the 2016 recall was to avoid). Now I am looking at approx $900 to replace the fuel tank. It would seem that ford should cover this under the recall or at least cover the $400+ cost of the tank at a min. This is clearly a dangerous condition and potential fire that could have easily gone unnoticed if I had not parked inside that night (car usually stays outside). The mechanic at the new shop was not surprised and said tanks are now often being replace on these cars. The car has now been out of service for over a week and will be at least another week for the part to arrive and get the replacement work done.

My daughter's 2010 ford fusion power steering went out while she was driving it. She didn't crash the car but it made it hard to turn. He low tire indicator light came on and then all of a sudden the power steering just went out. We got the tire pressure back but now the power steering won't work. We had one mechanic look at the car but he says it's the steering rack and those cars are known for this issue. I've researched this and see there has been lots of complaints with the same issue and think ford needs to issue a recall before someone gets hurt bad or killed. I also own a 2012 ford fusion and the fuel pump went out in it and I have seen that this is a issue with this year. The cost of that repair was $555 and the steering rack can range from $1200 to $1600 and if ford doesn't do anything about either issue then I will not buy another ford vehicle again.
