I purchased my 2007 Lincoln Mkx on 12/01/2014 on 12/13/2014 I filled my gas tank drove home I went inside for about 5 minutes when I came out to load my car for a trip I smelled a strong gas odor. Upon further inspection I found that my car had leaked gas all over my driveway. The leak was due to a recalled gas tank. Lincoln has since had my car. That was December this is March. I talked to Lincoln this month and they are telling me my car will not be fixed until October. That will be 10 months im paying for a product I cannot use.

About 2 months ago, there began a strong smell of gasoline in my garage immediately after filling my gas tank. After this happening several other times, I had the car tested for a fuel leak. A smoke test was performed and no leak was found. Upon searching an answer to this problem, it has come to my attention that this is a common issue in Lincoln Mkx and Ford edge SUV's made in 2007 and after. There are many in online forums who have been told the upper part ("neck") of the gas tank has corroded causing fuel to spray onto the chasis. This is also my experience, as I have been told the same thing by my mechanic. I believe this is a safety concern. The fumes after filling the tank is not tolerable and not safe. Whether or not this is a fire hazard, I can only speculate.

I had noticed a faint gas smell from my 2007 Mkx. Fri 10/17/14 after filling up my gas tank and parking at work, I found a puddle of gas underneath my car. Took the Mkx to my mechanic and found that the tank is rusting and leaking at the seams. $1600 for a new tank but none are available. Call Ford consumer complaint line and told there is not a recall and Ford would not replace or take care of the problem. There are numerous blogs about this problem with the Ford Mkx and edge cars but being ignored by Ford. This is a serious safety issue and should be taken care of by Ford. Do cars need to explode, catch fire or people die before something is done? your help in getting this safety issue taken care of would be appreciated.

My gas tank is leaking, Ford has been contacted and are unable to come up with a new gas tank. I am being told the earliest possible date to receive a tank (new or used) will be November 7, 2014 and that is no guarantee. The girl I spoke with at "Ford client services" mentioned that I should not be driving the car. I believe this problem is widespread due to the lack of availability of this part.

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.

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 and then $500 for labor for a total of over $2000. 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.
