I recently purchased a 2007 Ford Edge sel awd. I have had no problems with the vehicle until this past Thursday (09/11/2014) when I put $40. 00 worth of gas in it when it was close to empty. After putting in $40. 00 worth of gas, it gave me a approximately 3/4 tank of gas. I then parked it at my place of work (no incline of any sort) and started to smell gas. The tank is leaking on the passenger side underneath. After work, I drove home (maybe 10 miles) and have not even moved the vehicle until today (09/13/2014) and only have 1/4 tank of gas left. Not only is it leaking gas but the inside of the vehicle wreaks. I have a 2 month old child who I am afraid to take in the vehicle now because the smell is so strong. This issue needs to be resolved as I am not the only person who has complained about this situation. I see that 2008 Ford Edge models have been recalled due to the same problem. I refuse to spend close to $2000. 00 to fix the problem. Thank you.

I was smelling fuel everytime I walked around my car. I had my boyfriend look at it and he said that the seals on the fuel tank are corroded and that I would need a new fuel tank. After calling Ford, which choses not to do anything about this, it is going to cost close to $2,700 to have it replaced. I drive my children around in this vehicle. Ford refuses to list this as a recall. Why??? most people who drive this type of car, has a family or children. It is very scary to think that my car could possibly catch on fire, or worse.
