FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT, I WOULD COME OUT TO THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS, WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THE TANK WAS COMING APART AT A SEAM AT THE TOP. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I FOUND MANY SITUATION LIKE MINE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT ONE NEVER EXPECTS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SMELLED THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THE FUEL TANK WOULD COST 1500.00 AND THEN 500.00 FOR LABOR FOR A TOTAL OF OVER 2000.00. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE 7 YEARS OLD. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A FUEL TANK LEAK THIS BAD BEFORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE'S CAR STOPPED MOVING IN AN INTERSECTION, DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR. IT CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO NOT KNOW HOW FAST THE CAR IS MOVING AND KILLS THE EXCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD LINCOLN DEALER AND ALTHOUGH WHEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED, THE DEALER GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PROBLEMS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ABOUT EVERY FEW WEEKS, UPON DRIVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR OR IN LOW GEAR- IT ACCELERATES UPON STEPPING ON PEDAL, HOWEVER THE CAR IS JUST CRAWLING ALONG AND NOT PICKING UP SPEED AT ALL. CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK IN DRIVE, ONCE I DO THIS IT WORKS NORMAL AGAIN. ON OTHER OCCASIONS I FEEL A HARD KICK WHEN I PUT THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I HAPPEN TO BE PULLING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WOULD HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET THIS CAR GOING AGAIN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE RESULTED IN "NEAR MISS." THE BRAKES WERE HISSING, INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO PRESS, AND WENT SOFT EVENTUALLY AFTER STANDING ON THEM TO ENGAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE FORD EDGE / LINCOLN MKX WITH AN ASSOCIATED "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" (READ RECALL AVOIDANCE) # 13N02. THIS PROBLEM REQUIRES A RECALL, BECAUSE THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS UNSAFE WHEN THIS PART FAILS. PERIOD. MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM REQUIRE INVESTIGATION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SMELLED FUEL AROUND VEHICLE ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS AFTER SMELL STARTED, FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK & DRIP ONTO GROUND. BY NEXT DAY I LOST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. TOOK TO DEALER THEY FOUND SEAM ON TANK IS CORRODED AND LEAKING. REPAIR IS $2000. TANK ALONE IS $1500. IF THESE TANKS ARE THIS COSTLY, THEY SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 6 - 7 YEARS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND OVERLY COSTLY. I AM UPSET TO FIND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND IS IGNORED BY FORD AS AN ISSUE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE COST TO BE SO HIGH ON PART UNLESS FORD IS CONTROLLING IT. FOR JUST ABOUT ANY OTHER VEHICLE, THE TYPICAL COST FOR A TANK IS $100 TO $500. THERE IS NO SPECIAL DESIGN. IT DOES NOT COME WITH ANYTHING EXTRA. NO PUMP. NO SENSORS. IT IS A BARE TANK. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO CLOSELY AND FOMOCO HELD RESPONSIBLE AND RECALLS SHOULD BE SENT ON THESE VERY UNSAFE VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
WIRES TO HEADLIGHTS BRITTLE AND/OR BROKEN. THIS VEHICLE HAS HEADLIGHTS THAT MOVE THE DIRECTION STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND ALSO SELF ADJUST HEIGHT UP AND DOWN AS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THE ALMOST CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF HEADLAMP IS CAUSING WIRES TO BECOME BRITTLE AND BREAK CAUSING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNSAFE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT SOME REPAIR SHOPS ARE SAYING THE FUSE BOX NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED TO REPAIR SYMPTOM. SOME PEOPLE MAY JUST THINK A HEADLAMP IS BURNED OUT AND AFTER REPLACING BULB, LIGHT STILL WON'T WORK. THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO DRIVE RISK LOOSING OTHER HEADLIGHT AT SAME TIME. THERE IS NO WARNING INDICATOR IN CAR TO NOTIFY DRIVER THERE IS A HEADLAMP OUT SO A PERSON COULD EASILY BE DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT AND NOT EVEN NOTICE. UPON SEARCHING INTERNET I NOTICED OTHER LATE MODEL FORD PRODUCTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ON MY CAR THE INSULATION WAS STILL IN TACT SO IT WAS NOT EASILY NOTICED, BUT YES THE WIRE WAS PHYSICALLY BROKEN INSIDE WIRE INSULATION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT, NOR HAS IT BEEN WORKED ON BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LINCOLN DEALERSHIP OR MYSELF. THERE IS A CAP THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM HEADLIGHT HOUSING BEFORE ONE COULD ACCESS THIS SEALED OFF AREA. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN STATES WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES WHERE THE LICENSE PLATE LAMP ASSEMBLY MAY EXPERIENCE AN ELECTRO-CHEMICAL REACTION AND CORROSION AS A RESULT OF WATER INTRUSION. FORD'S LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES APPEAR TO BE VERY NARROW. MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX (THREE YEARS PRIOR TO THE CURRENT RECALL LIST) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM - ONE OF THE 2 LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS IS CORRODED AND QUIT WORKING (IT WAS RUSTED AND FELL APART WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT). I EXPECT THE OTHER LIGHT ISN'T FAR BEHIND. IF THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF FIRE, THE CURRENT RECALL SHOULD WARRANT A CLOSER LOOK AT ADDING MORE VEHICLES THAT USED THIS COMPONENT. RE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V285000 COMPONENT(S): EXTERIOR LIGHTING CONSEQUENCE: CORROSION MAY RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE. *TR
