I have only had the vehicle since February 14th this year. I can not fill my gas tank all the way full. It has been leaking gas every time I do. I have tried several times at different stores when I gas up my car to see if it was because I had been parked on an incline. It does not matter if I am on level ground it still leaves a puddle under my car. It is worse if I park on anything but level ground . Please let me know if there is anyway to fix the problem.

Stalls for no apparent reason. It appears that when fuel gets down to approx. 1/2 tank, it will stall out at any time. Fill tank and it will be okay. Chapman Ford in columbia PA. Said it would cost about $500. 00 to fix. I asked why and they said thats the way Ford made it. He also said the focus has the same problem. Even though we have not had an accident, we have had close calls. Various incident dates for past six months. Even if its fixed, there is no guarantee how long it will last. I think it's a lousy answer.
