Complaint Filed Tuesday 18:14 hrs 12/06/2022. On 12/02/2022 I had a diagnosis at Marcotte Ford Holyoke, MA done my vehicle because it failed Massachusetts emissions CEL. Diagnose came back with the same description as the damaged fuel system and suspension which RECALLS, which should have been fixed before I registered the vehicle on 11/22/2022. I fear for my safety of fuel leak and suspension crash. I would hate to think a reputable Ford dealer would jeopardize my safety for a few extra dollars for holiday spending. I have found a different repairman for the faulty brake power booster & Mass Air Flow Sensor the A & Z Autos dealer /A & Z Auto Repair placed in my vehicle. Ms. Sharon-Shawn A. Bell
I have a 2010 Ford Edge. When parked in my garage, I would notice the odor of gasoline. Later, I noticed fuel stains on my slightly slanted driveway under where the Edge was often parked. The local Ford dealership inspected my tank and found that it was severely corroded in several locations, including the seams of the tank. Several calls to various numbers for Ford customer relations only result in many minutes on hold, to be told the same thing - which is that the 2010 is not subject to the 14s22 recall for 2007 and 2008 models. The representative told me to keep my receipts when I have the repairs done and Ford May reimburse me if the recall is expanded. The estimate for the repair and replacement of the corroded tank is $5000. On top of that, there are no tanks available. This gas tank problem is an acknowledged safety issue. …
Please note that this vehicle was originally purchased in the us and then purchased second hand by myself in late 2010 and registered in ontario Canada since. On about the entered date I identified strong gasoline smell and some leakage below the gas tank. I investigated Ford recall info and found that the car was subject to a recall for leaking gas tanks (Ford # 15s31), (NHTSA item listing date 2015-10-27). After calling local dealers in both Canada and us, I was informed by both that my particular VIN did not appear on the recall list. I called both canadian and us Ford customer service and again they only confirmed that my vine did not appear on the list. The recall criteria states that edges built before July 2010 are part of the recall. My build date is late 2009 and fits the criteria. …

The interior of my car filled with gas fumes after filling the tank on11/4/2019. I called don hinds Ford the next morning and dropped it off that evening. The service department inspected it and found that the gas tank was leaking. The gas tank had been replaced due to a recall just 15 months ago. Ford refuses to replace, stating hat the warranty is expired. We have asked our dealership to complete the repairs. My concern is that Ford motor company replaced defective gas tanks with defective gas tanks. Ford customer service suggested that I take it to an "authorized Ford service provider" even after I told them that it was already at a authorized Ford sevice provider...even though my car is leaking gas and could catch fire, even though I told them that my car's interior was filled with gas fumes.

While drive about 50 miles per hour on the street the wrench light went on then off. I pulled up to a stop light and when I tried to accelerate the car could hardly move. I was only able to limp along until I got to my destination. I shut the car off and when I came back after about 2 hours it started and has been driving fine the last two days, for now. No wrench light no power problems. I've been researching this issue online and have seen numerous other complaints with the same description as mine. A throttle body seems to be at fault. Apparently Ford knows of this issue and did not do a recall. Rather they did an extended warranty that ended in 2015.
