Fuel Tank Strap broke leaving only 1 strap to hold fuel tank in place. Multiple complaints filed but no recall. What are you waiting for" Someone to die in a fire" This needs to be addressed with a nationwide recall.

The fuel rail assembly develops pinholes in it and gasoline fuel leaks on the manifold and engine and can start a car fire. The fuel rail assembly has failed on a lot of these cars. The fuel rail assembly fails on its own. There is no wear and tear on this ietm. Ford has not issued a recall for this safety issue.

On 6-18-2017, while driving on a 4 lane road with 2 passengers, the gas tank dropped and was dragging on the road. It did not ignite. It was towed to the dealer for repairs (invoice lics480075). I filed a complaint (case # cas12546829) with the Ford-Lincoln motor company. This was a potentially life threatening occurrence.

While exiting a parking facility cars were doing an alternate merge into a single lane. It was slow stop and go and I was waiting my turn with my foot on the brake. All of a sudden my car accelerated aggressively and I slammed on the brakes and put it in park. I used just less than a car length to stop the car after it lurched forward. I noticed that the tachometer momentarily exceeded 4000 RPM. This would have been an accident except for fortuitous timing. I allowed the car to my left space to merge and there was about a car length of space available which the other car had not entered yet. That space gave me the margin to get the car stopped without hitting a car in front of me.

I went to fill my gas tank, and my gas tank started leaking. I drove straight to my mechanic and he told me the gas tank had rusted through and the strap holding the tank had rusted and broke away. I had the tank and strap replaced at a cost to me of $632.
