Took my car in for the fuel tank recall. The dealer replaced the purge valve and said they inspected my tank, which was good.

Gas tank is leaking. Per ford- a recall fix was done in 2016 on the purge valve, but not the tank itself. The tank itself is leaking. Per ford since the recall fix was donr in some capacity, it doesn't qualify for the remaining portion being fixed.

I have a 2010 for fusion. I have had it for 2 years now and it recently started leaking gas a few weeks ago. It is leaking from my tank by the rear passenger tire and it leaks mostly when i fill up or put at least 3/4 tank of gas in the car. I see that there was a recall on my car for this very issue and i am trying to see if it were too late for me to get it looked at as a part of the recall

I turned the car off and back on. The alarm had…

The hybrid completely shut down at approximately 65 mp on the interstate. It was like turning off the key. A red triangle light said good luck "stop the car". This is within 100 miles having paid 1200 to a ford dealer to replace throttle body and cooling pump that wasn't one of the 1.6 million ford had to extend warranties. Shame on nhsta for not making them recall everything.
