What owners wrote
No, there wasn't a fire (yet). But your system wouldn't allow me to send this w/o picking one of the three incident options. Bad raw fuel smell after every engine shutoff. Car taken to ford dealer who told us there was a TSB# 14-0091 for this issue. No parts available, and they don't know when they will be available! We are worried that the car is going to start on fire! Please help!
