Will be driving along at any speed and car will not accelerate, it does not stall but wrench light comes on and you can't do anything until you shut off the car and restart it. This has happened numerous times and hasn't caused an accident yet, but most certainly will eventually. This problem is well known, but is phrased as stalling when it truly doesn't stall, accelerator just doesn't work and car slows down…

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…

I put a set tires on my vehicle last week and was told my gas tank was leaking. I took it to a ford dealership to get estimate on repair. They also stated the tank was leaking. The entire tank would need to be replaced to the tune of $2,200.00 roughly. The ironic thing here the fuel tank is on a national backorder and have no idea when this problem can be fixed!!!! There should be a recall, somebody needs to wake up…

Leaking fuel tank. Advised by technician not to park inside enclosed garage due to fire hazard. Ford motor company is aware of leaking fuel tanks on these model vehicles and is not assisting owners in repairs or replacement. Replacement cost $2,018 and tanks are on back order. Ford allowing hazardous conditions for vehicle owners. *tr

I have an 2007 ford edge, filled the tank, the next day smelled a fuel odor, 1 week later seen that there is a gas leak. Took the car to a mechanic, stated the seams on the passenger side of the tank are rusted. Have not contacted maunfacture & not repaired. There are alot of gas tank complaints, not too sure why this year has not been recalled. This is a fire risk. A 7 year old car should not have a fuel tank…

I began to smell a strong gas smell, then i saw drops of gas on my driveway. I took the vehicle to my dealership. They informed me the fuel tank was rusted with a hole, thus the leak. The repair was very costly, i asked them to pursue a used fuel tank. After researching extensively, the dealer and i found that all of the used fuel tanks also have holes and are rusted. The dealer went forward with requesting a new…

My 2007 ford edge suv has the same fuel tank leak issue as ford recall number 14s22 but is not part of the recall. I do not know where it was originally sold but it is registered in tennessee. My concern is the same as listed in the recall, "a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire." *tr

Fuel tank leaking. Noticed a strong fuel odor when i filled the tank. Did some research and there are over a hundred complaints about this. Leak is coming from the top seal or seam. There must be a problem because ford has a back order on the tank when i tried to get it fixed they did not know when they could get one in.i do think a recall is in order. *tr

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…

I detected a faint odor of gasoline. A week later after vehicle was sitting in the driveway overnight there was an overwhelming odor of gas around the vehicle. Our mechanic found a leaking fuel tank, rusted at the seam, dripping on to the exhaust. Vehicle is not drivable. As of this time the local ford dealer cannot even give an estimate when a replacement tank might be available and used tanks are apparently…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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

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.…

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…

Strong fuel smell coming from rear of vehicle. Fuel is leaking slightly at seam and has strong vapor smells. Hasn't been overfilled. I can not park the vehicle in the garage anymore due to the danger of the vapors. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. To many people have already complained on this issue, so why has a recall not been issued? *tr
