On two occasions noticed fuel on ground, and vehicle was out of gas. Vehicle been to the dealer's shop, and consumer was informed that nothing could be found. Leaks were noticed on driver's side underneath vehicle with other witness. Can NHTSA help in this matter this can be a pottenial fire hazard if come in contact to a ignition source.

Vehicle only had 4500 miles on on the odometer when I detected a fuel leak. The fuel was dripping out of the gas tank where the filler pipe connected to the tank. I was on vacation and had just driven the vehicle about 2000 miles from Ohio to Florida an explosion could have occured if the vehicle would have encountered any sparks or a cigarette was discarded. The vehicle was taken to a dealership in homestead, Florida where it remained overnight. The dealership stated that this vehicle was the third vehicle they encountered leaking fuel that week. I contacted the manufacturer however no recall has been issued. This is a very dangerous situation that can cause fatalities or serious injury. I would like Ford to reimburse me for the rental car that I obtained and take this vehicle back because I do not feel that it is safe. I work at an auto manufacturer and I do not feel like Ford wants to stand behind the safety of their product.
