| Other Fuel System problems |
The fuel line/fuel pump was leaking. Smelled fumes from the gasoline. Fuel was leaking over the fuel tank from the top of the tank. The vehicle was drivable when fuel was leaking. Very concerned that their could have been a fire due to the fuel leak. Took the vehicle to the Ford service department where it was purchased. Service shop stated that during inspection they noticed that something chewed through the fuel line/fuel pump. Comments made by the service advisors stated that they have seen squirrels/rodents attracted to the soy based ingredients of the parts/wiring. The repair would not be covered under warranty due to "outside influence". The manufacturer is installing a similar part and not covering under warranty. No warning lights; no warning messages. If the same type of soy based part is being installed, what is going to prevent the same thing from happening. Ford is not offering different types of parts and they do not have a way to prevent additional damage. No shield/tape/covering is being offered. Numerous instances of this referenced online due to soy based parts and Ford knowingly installing these parts without a fix or prevention. Consumer is responsible for all repairs. No warranty.
Applied brakes and instead of braking, vehicle accelerated on its own. Please note, when brake applied, felt resistance and simultaneously vehicle accelerated into lane of traffic. Rate of speed was very low, as I was coming to a stop in a parking lot. No warning lights on dash, dealership confirmed it was not the floor mats, there are no loose items in vehicle. My safety was put at risk as well as anyone walking/crossing the walk area and any vehicles that may have been in the lane of traffic. I immediately contacted dealership and was told to bring it in. The dealership has the vehicle currently, information provided to me by dealership. The vehicle was running self tests. Now the tech has opened a Ford hotline report, have not been able to duplicate issue and now awaiting response from Ford as to how proceed in diagnosing vehicle. Incident occurred July 25, 2024.
