Fuel tank has small rust holes in the top which causes a strong fuel smell. We can only fill tank half full to try to keep the smell from being so over whelming. Ford wants up to $2700 to replace fuel tank. The fuel tank is located very close to the exhaust pipe. That concerns me a lot.

Ford recall 14S22 on 2007 Ford Edge my car is leaking gas and is unsafe to drive I have spoken to langway Ford who referred me to Ford customer service regarding when the car could be fixed but am unable to get any info; they said the recall is too new and they don't have any info on parts or when the parts will become available. I need a rental car or loaner and think Ford should provide one until my car can be repaired. What can I do?

Fuel tank has a hole right above the half way mark. Fumes are so strong - it gives me headaches and leaks all over the ground.

- Fryeburg , ME, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated that there was a strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle while driving or parked. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel tank was corroded and was leaking. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

Fuel leaking from gas tank on my AWD 2007 Ford Edge. Strong odor of gasoline fumes coming from the car. Got it checked out, and the gas tank is leaking where the top half of the tank is welded to the bottom half of the tank. Service center said to keep the tank less than half full to minimize gas leaking from the tank. The strong fumes still cause an extreme hazard to my family. No replacement gas tank is available in the entire United States. Now this car sits motionless in my driveway.

My gas tank has started leaking. My mechanic has told me it will probably take 2 months before a replacement tank will be available.

Noticed a gas smell. Found a leaking gas tank with a puddle under my car.

- Leesburg , IN, USA

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 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. 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 really like my Edge but if they won't stand behind their vehicle over a safety issue this will be the last Ford I own. Thanks!

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.

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 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 here!!!! are we going to wait for an accident here where someone is killed before Ford fixes this problem!!!!

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 fuel tank, only to find that Ford has them on backorder with an eta of never. The dealership rep called Ford to find they are no longer making the fuel tank, there is no supplier for the fuel tank. I am left with a car that cannot be repaired properly. The Ford relationship center has been no help. This is a serious safety issue. Ford has turned a blind eye. Consumers need to know about this potentially deadly defect.

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 issue.

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 quickly in traffic.

- Williston, ND, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 45 mph, the contact smelled fuel. The contact also stated that the fuel tank was fractured. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

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 difficult to find.

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?

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Smelling gas fumes. Looked underneath and gas was leaking from fuel tank.

- Pekin,Il, IL, USA

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.

- Knox, IN, USA

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.

- Nicholasville, KY, USA

I notice a strong gas smell. The mechanic told me the seam of the tank is leaking. I have owned multiple (over 20) Ford 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.
