AFTER CONTINUALLY SMELLING GAS WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE I DISCOVERED A GAS LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING DUE TO RUSTING OF THE TANK. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF THE PRICE OF A NEW TANK AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. A PERSON AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS EDGE. ALSO, I FOUND A USED FUEL TANK IN SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT, AND FOUND IT HAS THE SAME RUSTING PROBLEMS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN USE THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND I FEEL LIKE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFTEY PROBLEM. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM PLEASE MAKE A COMPLAINT. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS COSTLY AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR
