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 car intermittently wreaks of gas fumes (not carbon monoxide) on the inside of the care. This primarily happens between 1/4 to to a full gas tank. The smell always occurs after a gas fill up. The gas tank is never overfilled. It also happens when taking a sharp turn after a stop sign/light, and when braking swiftly. Living in a northern climate, the gas smell gets to be so bad, that windows need to periodically be opened in order to vent the vehicle of gas smell. This does not go over well when it is zero outside. With over 3500 miles on the vehicle, the gas smell seems to be occurring more frequently. It started to smell on day 1 of possession of the vehicle with the first gas fill up.now, the whole garage smells of gas when the vehicle is parked for a short amount of time (2 hours). When starting the vehicle on a cold morning parked outside, with all blowers running full, the interior of the car will wreak of gas after 5 minutes. I have an appointment with a Ford dealership this week. They supposedly know of the problem. It does appear to be different from the carbon monoxide problem as this is gas fume smells.
