5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2016

Gas tank. Lots of corrosion where filler neck connects to the gas tank. When gas tank is full gas leaks from the corrosion point. Vehicle was parked in my garage when I noticed a strong gas odor. I moved the vehicle to the driveway and noticed a wet spot on the garage floor that reeked of gas. The spot corresponds to the area below the gas tank filler. I'm concerned the leaking gas is an environmental hazard and also concerned the leaking gas may ignite causing a fire and possible explosion. Help!!!.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2015

I drive a 2009 Ford Escape which has been meticulously maintained and is in excellent shape. In March of 2015 I began to notice that puddles of gasoline were appearing under my vehicle. I took it to the dealer immediately and was informed that the fuel tank had rusted through and was leaking. This is arguably one of the most serious safety hazards that can be found on a vehicle, especially for one that is only 6 years old. Ford should have adequate measures in place to prevent rust on such a crucial part of the vehicle.
