This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The fuel overflow hose Ford part # F7U79170aa has rotted and cracked approximately 1.5'' long just above the clamp that secures it to the fuel tank. After refueling, the gas fumes are quite strong and would leave a puddle of fuel under vehicle. Would also loose fuel when driving when tank was over 3/4 full. Fuel would drip down from all sides of fuel tank. The possibility of fuel blowing back onto the hot exhaust and brakes is extremely high. I am holding onto the defective fuel overflow hose if anyone would like to see it.
The fuel filler hose and the overflow hose have rotted and cracked to the point where it is almost impossible to refuel the vehicle. After refueling, the gas fumes are are quite strong and the possibility of fuel blowing back onto the hot exhaust and brakes is extremely high. Ford does not have any recalls on the fuel hose for this particular vehicle although there are some vehicles manufactured at other locations which have been corrected.
