“Car was in motion on a paved state of nebraska highway. I heard a load pop, did not see anything in road or feel that the car hit any kind of road hazard. Was two miles from home, no warning light came on. When parked I did smell gas but could not determine where it was coming from because there was a light rain. In the morning all fuel had drained out on the ground and down the street. Had it towed to shop, they found a hole in the gas tank and determined it was a road hazard collision. …”

NHTSA complaint #11394740, filed 2021-02, 41,000 miles“Let me start by saying your sales team was great, made the car buying part of this easy....maybe too easy in that I made a quick decision to buy without researching what complaints there were about this vehicle. I am a home health nurse and traded my honda accord in to your dealership as I needed something with more room to store my work supplies while still maintaining decent gas mileage. I have never been more disappointed in a new car. I was so pleased with the service during the purchase. But this car is not what it is claimed to be. …”
NHTSA complaint #11100296, filed 2018-06, 3,000 miles“The 2018 Ford EDGE has a problem with the fuel tank that is yet to be addressed. Whenever I pump gas into the tank, the car will not start until at least 15 attempts. This problem seems to be because the tank which has no cap does not create enough suction pressure for the engine to pull the gas. Whenever gas is newly pumped, the engine seems to pull air, and will not start. The tank seems to be unable to bleed out air or maybe will not create the right pressure until the tank creates enough pressure for the gas to flow well into the engine. …”
NHTSA complaint #11352016, filed 2020-08, 57,458 miles“The coils kept popping up check engine light. And turns out it was an injector failing, and cause my car to jerk a lot, and not accelerate when needing. My car would almost try to stop accelerating while on highway and jerk so much that it felt like I was going to wreck on the middle of a freeway.”
