| Description of the problem | I had noticed a faint gas smell from my 2007 mkx. Fri 10/17/14 after filling up my gas tank and parking at work, i found a puddle of gas underneath my car. Took the mkx to my mechanic and found that the tank is rusting and leaking at the seams. $1600 for a new tank but none are available. Call ford consumer complaint line and told there is not a recall and ford would not replace or take care of the problem. There are numerous blogs about this problem with the ford mkx and edge cars but being ignored by ford. This is a serious safety issue and should be taken care of by ford. Do cars need to explode, catch fire or people die before something is done? Your help in getting this safety issue taken care of would be appreciated. |
