My ford fusion was in motion when I noticed a strong smell of gasoline from the front of my vehicle. Upon inspection I noticed that my fuel levels were decreasing rapidly, my car was not going forward, and when I looked under the car; all of gas was leaking from the front of the vehicle. I see that my make and model was recalled for this specific issue (ford's recall campaign number is 13s04) but my VIN is not listed for that recall but it seems to be the exact same issue stated in recall number 13s04.

After driving my vehicle and I got out, I smelled gasoline. I looked under the car and all around the engine compartment and could not see any leaks. I used a flashlight and a mirror but did not remove any panels. I thought maybe it was just fumes, but the gasoline smell was just as strong after I drove the car the next time. I took it to the dealership and was told that the under body fuel lines just forward of the fuel tank were rusted through and leaking. There is a retaining clip that secures the line and that is where the line was rusted. There was never evidence of a fuel leak other than the smell, because the splash guard that goes under the fuel line was preventing the leak from making it to the ground. I could not smell the gasoline while driving, only after exiting the car.

Gas is leaking from the underside of the vehicle. First noticed a gas smell from the air vents so I initially thought a leaking injector, however when I looked under the car it was clearly leaking gas from somewhere. I did some minor research and saw that this year has several recalls for leaking fuel systems however I can't find a recall for this under this particular VIN.

Fuel leaking and you all sent out a recall 13v227000 on 05/31/2003 which ford is saying that my car is not covered because they recalled cars built on feb 11, 2003 & my car was built feb 20,2003 in the same factory in hermosillo, mexico. I purchased the vehicle 1 year ago & I should not be responsible to replace this part. The vehicle in inoperable at this point due to the fuel leaking. This is a safety hazard. The recall sent out by the federal safety agency does not specify a model or build date therefore; cars build within the same month in the same ford plant should've been honored. I cannot afford to pay for a $300 part for I am a college student with limited income.

This is the 6th time I am taking my vehicle in. The first 5 times were for transmission issues. They found "trash" in my transmission and had to take it apart. That happened about 1 month ago. I now have a serious fuel leak. I purchased extended warranty, however, I am concerned that this vehicle is not safe to drive. I purchased this vehicle brand new and have had nothing but serious problems with it. I am concerned for the safety of myself and my kids. I do not even want my children in this car anymore. Are there any solutions to my situation?
