“Vehicle has less than 5000 miles, and each time I enter my garage I smell gasoline. It appears to be coming from the easy fuel capless fuel tank filler. It has not been overfilled, and no fuel is spilled on the cap or near it in the bottom. Seems like gas vapor is exiting through the cap and filling my garage with fumes.”

I contacted the Ford roadside service which dispatched a tow vehicle the tow driver was able to raise the front enough to get my truck onto the tow truck.

It seems like the vehicle has a valve selenoid problem because everybody is talking about it online. It is a hazard because the vehicle will turn off while driving.
