Description of the problem	Vehicle is leaking fuel. Took it to the dealership for repair to find out due to a manufacturing error one of the welds rusted thus creating a hole in the top of the fuel tank. Was told this is a very common problem with this vehicle and its twin, the ford edge. Was instructed that the repair cost would be 1800. 00 and although it is a common problem due to a manufacturing error, it is not under recall with ford/lincoln. We contacted lincoln directly and they said they were aware of the problem but would not offer us any insight as to why this issue is not under recall or help with the repair costs if they agree it is a "common issue". Upon talking to other ford edge and lincoln mkx owners online, this is a huge problem with these vehicles with 1000's of effected vehicles. This is an issue that is life threatening and could cause serious damage and bodily harm, if not death, if not corrected.
