2008 Ford Edge fuel/propulsion system problems

“The problem is the smell of gasoline when standing near the car. The associated recall has been evaluated by several dealers over the years. None have arranged to complete the recall.”

“My vehicle 2008 Ford edge had a safety recall from 2012 and the gas tank that the previous owners never had taken care of it or resolved. I purchased a car in February. I filled the gas tank. I parked it in my condo and I used my secondary car to go to work that day. Well, the management called me and said that my gas tank exploded and that there was fuel all over the condo parking lot. Had the fire department come and secure the car they took care of the gasoline in the parking lot and then I had it towed to Miller Ford when we found out that there was a recall on that gas tank. This car has been at this dealership three times it’s going tomorrow. This will be the fourth time for the same issue. I feel that this car is not safe. I feel that because nobody addressed this safety recall since 2012 that everything was corroded. I almost got into three accidents because the car stalled on me on three different occasions.”

“Had 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD looked at while servicing for oil etc. Fuel smell noted at rear of vehicle. When looked at noticed wet fuel tank. Fuel tank is still on vehicle. (Ford wants $4400 to replace it) Independent shop JP Automotive in North Haven CT and Bob Thomas Ford in Hamden CT confirm tank is leaking. Bob Thomas Ford says not part of Ford TSB #14S22 (NHTSA #10076517) or Ford TSB #14R02 (NHTSA #10076296) A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Causing danger to myself, my passengers, and others on the road. No warning lamps etc. Just a fuel smell at the rear of the vehicle that started.”

“Safety Recall [XXX] My vehicle falls into this recall yet the dealership and ford is saying it dose not. The vehicle was built at the Oakville Assembly Plant during the time of recall specs. I believe June 2007. The vehicle is in Wisconsin which also falls into the recall specs. The fuel tank has the leak in the areas spoke of in the recall, Ford is not doing anything about it. We received a case number 6 months ago and never heard back from them. This is a serious issue. The dealership gave us a estimate of almost $4000. something we can not afford. Please help.”

“Vehicle has corrosion and is leaking gas. Recalls are shown for vehicle and supposedly fixed. Ford says they will not re open a recall and state recall is not for my car”

“IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE TOXIC FUMES AND FUEL LEAKAGE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA. MOST PREVALENT WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. NOTICED WHILE IN TRANSIT OR WHILE STATIONARY. DANGEROUS INHILATION TO PASSENGERS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED HEADACHES AND LABORED BREATHING. THIS ERROR WAS OCCURRING IN PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND OPENING THE EARLIER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS NECESSARY FOR SAFETY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. DIRECT CONTACT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT PERFECTED A SOLUTION TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM.”
