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…

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

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…

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…

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
