Has a very rough idle and when a /c is on the car has absolutely no power, also burns gas very quick. Exterior head lights lights are dim and I just installed new one yet still dim

I smelled strong gasoline odors while driving from work. The car had been filled with fuel recently. The fuel tank is leaking near the fill tube. Further research into this issue has shown that it is a common occurrence with this model. The car cannot be filled above half full or gasoline leaks all over the back of the car and on the ground once parked. This leak is too near the exhaust pipe for safety. Ford does not repair this safety issue under any recall. It is a cheap part but labor is very expensive since the fuel tank must be removed to replace the leak. This is a manufacturing issue and ford should be required to repair it free of charge.

2001 v6 ford mustang suddenly started to miss-fire. I have been smelling exhaust odors for some time, but could not find anything wrong. I took it to the dealer as soon as it started to miss-fire. They diagnosed the problem as a sensor with moisture in it and both exhaust manifolds were cracked. It's no wonder I was smelling exhaust fumes. I was lucky not to be overcome with carbon monoxide while driving. There was no apparent reason for the exhaust manifold failure. The dealers rep said: " we have replaced quite a few of them and the new ones are better".
