2007 Ford Edge Fuel System Problems

Your 2007 Ford Edge's fuel tank is leaking at two corners on the driver's side due to corrosion, which matches safety recall 14S22. When you took it to the dealership, they refused to inspect it under recall coverage because your VIN didn't show the recall in their system, and asked you to pay $258 for one hour of shop time to look at it. The repair will likely involve inspecting the fuel tank for corrosion damage and either sealing the leak or replacing the fuel tank.

GAS TANK IS RUSTING OUT ON TOP OF TANK AND ON SEAM. CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE TANK AT A COST OF 2800.00 DOLLARS JUST FOR TANK. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE EXHAUST IS RIGHT BELOW THE TANK. HOW CAN A VEHICLE THAT IS 7 YEARS OLD BE RUSTING OUT A GAS TANK. I THINK FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN LOCATE A USED TANK TO REPLACE IT WITH. HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY A NEW TANK AT 2800.00. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED TO REPLACE THESE TANKS, 07,08,09 AND SOME 2010 FORD EDGES ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST A COUPLE BUT PRACTICALLY EVERYONE SOLD!

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD EDGE SE. WE RECENTLY SMELLED GAS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE GAS TANK DUE TO CORROSION AND WOULD NEED A NEW GAS TANK AND FUEL PUMP THAT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,800 TO $2,500 TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE WORK WITHOUT PAYMENT SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN GIVEN FOR THE 2007 EDGE. WE WERE LEFT WITH THE OPTIONS OF PAYING FOR A NEW GAS TANK AND FUEL PUMP OR CALLING FORD TO COMPLAIN. ANOTHER MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE GAS TANK IS A DESIGN DEFAULT BY FORD AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE TANK BY US. *TR

I NOTICE A STRONG GAS SMELL. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SEAM OF THE TANK IS LEAKING. I HAVE OWNED MULTIPLE (OVER 20) FORDS THOUGH OUT THE YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A TANK RUST OUT IN 7 YEARS. THE REPAIR COST IS OUTRAGEOUS IF YOU CAN FIND A TANK (RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT FIND A TANK FOR UNDER $2000). IT LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A STRONG GASOLINE FUEL ODOR PRESENT. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,972.

I NOTICED A SMELL OF GAS FOR TWO DAYS AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING MY GAS TANK THE LAST TIME. IT LASTED FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I WAS THEN TOLD I HAVE TWO HOLES IN THE TOP OF MY GAS TANK AND IT WOULD BE AROUND $1800 TO BE REPLACED. ALTHOUGH, THAT ISN'T AN OPTION AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT TANKS ARE ON BACK ORDER SINCE THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY AND THEY HAVE NO SPECIFIC DATE OF WHEN ONE WILL BE AVAILABLE. NOW I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO CONCERN OF FIRE, BUT AM FACED WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF HOW LONG I WILL BE WAITING UNTIL A GAS TANK BECOMES AVAILABLE. *TR

SMELLED GAS IN GARAGE. CHECKED LEAKING. PULLED OUT ON DRIVE . SAW LEAKING AGAIN. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED THE SEAM ON THE TANK HAD A LEAK. TOLD NOT TO SET IN GARAGE OR DRIVE UNTIL FIXED. DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE SEAMS OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

I WAS SMELLING FUEL EVERYTIME I WALKED AROUND MY CAR. I HAD MY BOYFRIEND LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THAT THE SEALS ON THE FUEL TANK ARE CORRODED AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL TANK. AFTER CALLING FORD, WHICH CHOOSES NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, IT IS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $2,700 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE. FORD REFUSES TO LIST THIS AS A RECALL. WHY??? MOST PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS TYPE OF CAR, HAS A FAMILY OR CHILDREN. IT IS VERY SCARY TO THINK THAT MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY CATCH ON FIRE, OR WORSE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL AWD. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PAST THURSDAY (09/11/2014) WHEN I PUT $40.00 WORTH OF GAS IN IT WHEN IT WAS CLOSE TO EMPTY. AFTER PUTTING IN $40.00 WORTH OF GAS, IT GAVE ME A APPROXIMATELY 3/4 TANK OF GAS. I THEN PARKED IT AT MY PLACE OF WORK (NO INCLINE OF ANY SORT) AND STARTED TO SMELL GAS. THE TANK IS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDERNEATH. AFTER WORK, I DROVE HOME (MAYBE 10 MILES) AND HAVE NOT EVEN MOVED THE VEHICLE UNTIL TODAY (09/13/2014) AND ONLY HAVE 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. NOT ONLY IS IT LEAKING GAS BUT THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WREAKS. I HAVE A 2 MONTH OLD CHILD WHO I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IN THE VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO STRONG. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SITUATION. I SEE THAT 2008 FORD EDGE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. I REFUSE TO SPEND CLOSE TO $2000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO AND AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE AND WHILE PARKED IN LOT. DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT THE GAS TANK HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAM. (ALTHOUGH I DO LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED DURING WINTER, WASHED APPROPRIATELY, WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE). THE DEALERSHIP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE EXTREMELY POOR. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL, THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT- THIS WILL NOT BE THE FIRST REVIEW THAT YOU WILL READ ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH, THE 2007-2009 MODELS HAVE THE SAME FUEL TANK AND THE 2008 MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. A 7 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE GAS TANK REPLACED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS NOTED AT THE SEAM. THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS A SAFETY LIABILITY THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO CLAIM AND REFUSES TO PUT THE SAFETY OF IT'S CUSTOMERS ABOVE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THIS WOULD CAUSE THEM. THE FUMES ALONE ARE TOXIC AND IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF SPARK ON THE ROADWAY, THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. IT'S SAD THAT AN AMERICAN COMPANY HAS SUCH POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND POOR SAFETY STANDARDS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD VEHICLE THAT I WILL OWN. *TR

STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE EVERY TIME MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE. SEEMED TO HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER I FILLED UP. RESEARCHED INTERNET FOR "2007 FORD EDGE FUEL SMELL" AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR (OEM FUEL TANK AVERAGES $1700 PLUS LABOR). TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. REQUESTING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

GAS TANK IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP ONTO THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TANK IS NEAR FULL. NOTICED LEAK ABOUT A WEEK AGO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL THE PREVIOUS DAY, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE GARAGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 10/8/14*CN

HEAVY GAS FUMES PERMEATING GARAGE, HOUSE AND CAR. FOUND THAT GAS TANK IS SEVERELY RUSTED, OR "ROTTED" AS THE DEALER SAID, IN SEVERAL PLACES. $2100 TO FIX. CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD! NOT EVEN DUE FOR A TUNE UP YET. THERE ARE OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME ISSUE. FORD SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING BUT "DOCUMENT IT." DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE DRIVING ON A SUPER-HIGHWAY AND HAVE THE TANK FALL OFF THE CAR AND GET KILLED OR HAVE THEIR HOUSE EXPLODE BEFORE FORD DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT?! PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *TR

GAS TANK IS FAILING. TANK LEAKS DUE TO SEVER RUST, AND ALONG SEAMS OF TANK. ALSO LEADS TO A STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE WE USE TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN. I'VE. NOTICED FUEL ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE, BIG PUDDLE. VERY UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK DUE TO RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RUST WAS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

WIFE FILLED HER 2007 FORD EDGE WITH GAS FOR A TRIP WE WERE TAKING THE FOLLOWING DAY BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME SMELL STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE NOTICED GAS TANK IS LEAKING COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THE SAME VEHICLES AND FORD REFUSES TO RECALL AND FIX DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THESE GAS TANKS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT

FUEL TANK LEAKING GAS LAYING IN SHIELD PAN UNDER CAR AND THEN OVER FLOWING ONTO GARAGE FLOOR TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE TANK REPLACED !! ONLY 62000 MILES ON CAR AND 7 YEARS OLD GARAGE KEPT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE TANK!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. FUEL WOULD ALSO LEAK OUT OF THE TANK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FILLED UP WITH FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. UPDATED 10/7/14*CN

SUDDENLY SMELLED GAS WHEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK IS CORRODED AND THE WHOLE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I NOW SEE ON FORUMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS CAR, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM AND THAT FORD DENIES IT BEING A DEFECT. NO CAR SHOULD HAVE CORROSION ON THE GAS TANK AFTER JUST 7 YEARS!! FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND OFFER REPLACEMENT TANKS FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD TO FIGHT FORD FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THIS HEFTY REPAIR EXPENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL LEAK ON THE GROUND NEAR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I CANT PUT IN THE PART OF THE FORD EDGE 2007 WHERE IT SAYS AFFECTED PART THE PART THAT WAS AFFECTED WAS THE GAS TANK I HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW HOW IT RUSTED EVERYTIME I WOULD FILL THE TANK THE SMELL OF GAS WAS BAD THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH FINDING OUT THAT THERE WAS A LEAK AND CHECKING ON THE WEB SITE THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH PEOPLE SMOKING AND THROWING OUT THEIR BUTTS ONE SPARK AND I AND MY DAUGHTER WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY IM HOPING THAT U WILL DO A RECALL ON THIS CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL FUMES WERE IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THERE WAS FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING FROM THE SEAMS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. LATER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL LEAKED ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK SUFFERED FROM RUST AND CORROSION AROUND SEVERAL OF THE SEAMS. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK NEEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THE FUEL TANK SEEMS TO BE LEAKING AT THE SEAM. FUEL IS DRIPPING TO THE GROUND. ON LINE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM WITH CARS 3 TIMES THE AGE. COULD THIS PLEASE BE LOOKED IN TO. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 FORD EDGE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT. I NOTICED A SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE IT WAS IN THE GARAGE AND TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WE FOUND A 2 INCH RUSTED HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. FORD CLAIMS NO OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. *TR

STRONG FUEL ODOR PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER FUELING NOTICED A STEADY DRIP FROM FUEL TANK. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO PRIVATE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT SHOWED EVIDENCE OF CORROSION ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. FORD HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR NOR WILL THEY ADMIT IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT OR ACKNOWLEDGE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR FAULTY FUEL TANKS. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A FUEL TANK TO ROT ON A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

I WOKE UP TO MY HOUSE SMELLING OF GAS, AFTER TAKING IT TO A SHOP, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE TANK. IT TOOK 3 DAYS TO GET IT BACK, WHEN I PICKED IT UP, I WAS TOLD TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS, THEN IT WAS LEAKING GAS REAL BAD, STEADY DRIP. I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY KEPT OVER THE WEEKEND, SAID IT WAS RUSTED VERY BAD, IT HAS A COUPLE RUST SPOTS THAT GAVE WAY WHEN I PUT GAS IN IT. SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TANK, AND FOR SUCH A NEW CAR, IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS BAD. *TR

I WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND DAYS LATER STARTED SMELLING GAS AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE GAS TANK SPLIT AND STARTED LEAKING.....CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT OR RECALL IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET A NEW TANK THAT COST $2,300 AND FORD RECALLED THE 2008 MODELS FOR THIS REASON BUT REFUSED TO RECALL THE 2007 MODELS....I AM VERY ANGRY BECAUSE AS IT IS I AM GETTING ABOUT 10 MILE TO THE GALLON ON GAS AND ONLY ABLE TO PUT ABOUT 4 GALLONS IN THE TANK AT A TIME AND DRIVE AROUND EVERY DAY WORRYING IF I WOULD EVER GET INTO AN ACCIDENT GOD FORBID I WOULD MAYBE BLOW UP BECAUSE OF THE LEAKING GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE... *TR

STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED ABOVE 3/4 MARK. MECHANIC INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THE FUEL TANK HAS HOLES ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE TANK, AND SAYS THAT THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BEFORE IT BEGINS TO LEAK. I WAS QUOTED $1540 FOR PARTS, AND $505 LABOR ($2045) TO REPLACE THE TANK. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. WHY DOES THE FUEL TANK ON A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE DETERIORATE ON THE TOP? *TR

GAS TANK SEAL CORRODED. MECHANIC WAS INSPECTING CAR WHEN HE FOUND THAT BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING GAS. IT APPEARS THE SEAL IS CORRODED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW TANK WAS APPROXIMATELY 1500. (JUST THE PART) AND ABOUT 600. IN LABOR. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE BY FORD, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I CAN ONLY PUT ABOUT 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN, NOT TO EXCEED JUST UNDER THE HALF TANK MARK. ALSO, CANNOT PARK CAR ON ANYTHING BUT A LEVEL SURFACE. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE HAS A GAS TANK LEAK PROBLEM. NOTICE A STRONG GAS SMELL AROUND VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER. MECHANIC FOUNDED GAS LEAKING FROM THE GAS TANK (UNSAFE TO DRIVE, POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD). *TR

STARTED SMELLING GAS SOMETIME IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. TOOK IT TO GET INSPECTED RECENTLY AND TECHNICIAN SMELLED GAS AND CHECK IT OUT. FUEL TANK IS LEAKING. SEEMS TO BE SOME TYPE OF CORROSION ON THE TOP. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. GOING TO COST NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE TANK. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE WEB. SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR

THE SMELL OF GASOLINE PROMPTED ME TO BRING MY FORD EDGE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK RUSTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I QUESTIONED THIS AS I HAVE OWNED FORD VEHICLES FOR TEN PLUS YEARS APIECE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT ABNORMAL. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE IN THE FORD EDGE VEHICLE. NOW, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR HOME DUE TO A FIRE HAZARD AND HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE RIGHT THEN AND THERE. FROM THE NUMBER OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, I BELIEVE THE FORD EDGE NEEDS TO BE DEEMED UNSAFE DUE TO THE FUEL TANK LEAKING PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS' LIVES IN DANGER BY NOT RECALLING AND CORRECTING THE FUEL TANKS IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF LEAKING FUEL IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE. IT IS NECESSARY TO ALSO MENTION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME AS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED ONLY 3 YEARS AGO WITH THE MILEAGE AT 32,579. HOW ARE THEY PRECERTIFYING ? WITH COVER UPS???? SO, IN ESSENCE THE FACT THAT THEY PRECERTIFIED 3 YEARS AGO MEANS THIS PROBLEM EITHER OCCURRED WITHIN 3 YEARS OR THE PRECERTIFICATION WAS BOGUS, EITHER OF WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. ALSO, THEIR WARRANTY WHICH COMES WITH THE PRECERT STATES FEB. 2013 OR 100,00 MILES. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE 100,00 MILES AS THEY SAY IT IS ONLY IF THE 100,00 MILES OCCURS BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. IF THAT WERE TRULY THE CASE, THE WORDING SHOULD SAY "WHICH EVER COMES FIRST." CHECK OUT THE FORD MANUAL TO VERIFY THIS INFO. THEY ARE MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE IN THEIR WARRANTY DEFINITION AS WELL AS THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A FORD - NEVER HAD A FUEL TANK PROBLEM, LOVED THE VEHICLES, BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. THEY ARE SHADY AT BEST. *TR

AFTER CONTINUALLY SMELLING GAS WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE I DISCOVERED A GAS LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING DUE TO RUSTING OF THE TANK. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF THE PRICE OF A NEW TANK AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. A PERSON AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS EDGE. ALSO, I FOUND A USED FUEL TANK IN SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT, AND FOUND IT HAS THE SAME RUSTING PROBLEMS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN USE THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND I FEEL LIKE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFTEY PROBLEM. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM PLEASE MAKE A COMPLAINT. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS COSTLY AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES ONE SATURDAY MORNING, MY WIFE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS USUAL. I ENTERED THE GARAGE AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND DETECTED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. PROCEEDED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE AND EVENTUALLY FOUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE FUEL SEEPING FROM THE FUEL RAIL, ALSO KNOWN AS THE FUEL SUPPLY MANIFOLD. I CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL WAS LEAKING IN THE AREA OF THE TEST PORT WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE RAIL. I COULD TELL THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THE TEST PORT IS CONNECTED TO THE RAIL. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL RAIL PORT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND A NEW FUEL RAIL WAS REQUIRED. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS GASOLINE COULD HAVE LEAKED OUT ONTO VERY HOT ENGINE PARTS AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

FOR A FEW WEEKS THERE WAS A STRONG GAS SMELL ALL AROUND THE FORD EDGE. BROUGHT IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY WERE STUMPED, THE GAS TANK WAS NOT LEAKING, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO IT NOR ANY RUST OF ANY KIND YET THEY ALSO COULD SMELL THE GAS. AFTER TIME, THEY FOUND THAT GAS WAS SEEPING THROUGH THE SEAMS OF THE TANK. CALLED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING QUITE A BIT OF THIS ON EDGES AND HAVE REPAIRED 4 WITHIN THE PAST MONTH IN OUR AREA. THEY INFORMED US HOW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IT WAS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR, IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF ANYONE THREW A LIT CIGARETTE, THE CAR COULD EXPLODE. VERY UNSAFE. WE CALLED FORD BECAUSE WE SAW MANY RECALLS ON NEWER MODELS FOR THE SAME THING. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM FOR THE 07 MODEL. WE GOT IT REPAIRED FOR $1700 AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING A REIMBURSEMENT FOR A MALFUNCTIONING PART AND A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS DETECTED AROUND THE VEHICLE. MECHANIC INVESTIGATED. GAS TANK HAD RUSTED THROUGH. GASOLINE WAS LEAKING. ACCORDING TO DIFFERENT BLOGS, THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD WITH 2007 FORD EDGE. REPLACEMENT OF TANK IS OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL NOR A BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM AND GIVE NOT MORE THAN AN APOLOGY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, SHE COULD SMELL AN INTENSE GASOLINE ODOR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD A LEAK AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,468.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THERE WAS AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

VEHICLE FILLED WITH FUEL AND PARKED IN GARAGE, NOTICED FUEL SMELL, FOUND FUEL LEAKING ON GROUND, INSPECTED BY FORD TECHNICIAN, FOUND FUEL TANK LEAKING AT LEFT REAR CORNER OF FUEL TANK. *TR

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A SLIGHT FUEL ODOR, LOOKED AT VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT TRACE DOWN LOCATION OF SMELL. ODOR WOULD COME AND GO, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. WIFE LEFT FOR WORK AND THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS, WHEN SHE BACKED OUT OF GARAGE THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF 1 FOOT BY 2 FOOT ON THE FLOOR. WHEN SHE RETURNED HOME THAT NIGHT I NOTICED A STEADY DRIP OF FUEL DRIPPING ON THE GROUND. I LOCATED THE LEAK COMING FROM THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK, SHE HAD FILLED UP THE DAY BEFORE, AND NOW THE TANK WAS WET WITH FUEL. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND NEVER HAVE HAD A FUEL TANK ISSUE LIKE THIS, SO I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT OF THE TANK AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. MY EDGE IS PARKED IN A ATTACHED GARAGE WHERE MY ELECTRICAL ROOM, FURNACE, AND WATER HEATER IS LOCATED IN THE SAME LOWER LEVER. OBVIOUSLY I AM PARKING OUTSIDE NOW. MY CONCERN IS THE FIRE HAZARD WITH WATER HEATER IGNITION SOURCE TO MY HOUSE AND VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD, I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SEALS WERE LOOSE AND THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO MADE A NOTE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED HER TO NHTSA. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

FOUND DOOR SEAL ON 3 DOOR BAD, FOUND VERY LIGHT TO JUST PRIMER AND CLEAR COAT PAINT ON ALL DOOR JAMS, SOME HINGES. NEWEST IS A SAFETY ITEM. WHILE PUMPING GAS AFTER THE FIRST CLICK GAS SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AND GAS SOAKED MY WIFE'S CLOTHS. THEN THE TANK CAP LIGHT CAME ON. SEAMS LIKE THE TANK IS NOT VENTING AND AS YOU FILL THE TANK WITH GASOLINE AIR HAS TO ESCAPE AND PUSHES OUT GAS WITH IT. DEALER NOT SURE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. DEALER IS REPLACING FILLER NECK. DEALER HAS REPLACED SEALS AND REPAINTED ALL AREAS WERE JUST PRIMER. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY REPLIED WITH IT IS NOT A FORD PROBLEM IT IS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAVE 30 DAYS TO SEND IT BACK. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 7 TIMES. I THINK FORD NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I HAVE DRIVEN 700 MILES BACK AND FORTH FOR WARRANTY WORK. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 2700 MILES ON IT AND IS A LITTLE OVER 2 MONTHS OLD. *TR
