“The gas tank has corroded so I have gas leaking under my vehicle. The maintenance man told me I could not drive it due to danger of a spark and fire risk. The 2007 and 2008's have this same problem which are recalled so why aren't the 2009's as well. It is the same faulty gas tank.”
NHTSA complaint #10726585, filed 2015-06, 93,000 miles“Subject : getting a raw deal ! Just bought 2009 Lincoln MKX. Problems are surmounting quickly. Fumes in cabin recall is connected to transmission failure in fords, lincolns, mazda years 2007 - 2013 approximately as reported. The fuel pump fails and is not easily replaceable. Ford is at fault for poorly designing a $200 part behind a timing chain which requires removal before you can reach the fuel pump to replace - costing the customer exorbitant amount of money to repair.”
