What owners wrote
Park my car after returning from work. A couple hours later my wife returned in her car and noticed the strong smell of gasoline in the garage. Upon further inspection, the weld seem on the gas tank has separated and leaking gas. There is a recall for this issue # 08s06 but the dealership has informed me that my manufacturing date does not match that of the recall. This to me seems suspicious.
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.
