| 10700 mi | TSB 13-06-03: Gas Tank only allows 12-13 gallons on fill (16.5 gallon capacity). Requires tank to be replaces as well as computer reset. Vehicle started leaking fuel, rock got stuck in o-ring and created a gap. The seal was replaced. Gas tank was replaced and SYNC was reset, however I filled immediately after leaving dealership and with 11 miles to empty I was only able to put in 13.084 gallons. |

| 56000 mi | The engine can stall after being driven for a while, turned off for roughly a half hour, and then driven again. The dealer could not reproduce the problem so no fix was performed. The dealer tech suggested using premium gas, which has helped so far. |

| 5580 mi | Recall for Fuel module. Parts initially not available. Finally done after fuel started leaking, and codes thrown. Still a fuel leak when filling car, but not as bad as before. Plugged vapor tube no parts available, have ordered them. |
| 6780 mi C $140 |
Fuel module and gasket replaced under warranty and was subject to recall, but was also leaking fuel when filled, so vapor tube was also repaired. This seems to fix the leak but I have not driven the car since Dec 1 as I am in Hawaii. |
| 8680 mi | I was driving from Canada to Palm Springs when the check engine light came on and 'check fuel inlet' error message came on. It also dumped fuel again under the car when filled. It was the same problem repaired in Nov, repaired again in PS. |
| 17360 mi | Third time to dealer for fuel leak when filling car. Fuel delivery module recall was done 1st time, did not solve problem, parts ordered and installed. Worked for a while then leaked again. Parts ordered and replaced, now parts ordered. |
| 19260 mi | Car has leaked when filling gas tank since new. Third attempt to repair now seems successful. They removed fuel tank and said some line was not connected which caused the leak. Since repair I have had no problem with fuel leaks. |

Check engine light comes on at random and has several possible codes as checked by auto parts store. Fuel injector cleaner/octane booster was suggested. That worked, but only temporarily. Check engine light continues to come on, and then eventually goes off. No notable loss of power or performance. |

| 28520 mi C $20 |
Car just out of warranty 13 days. Only 46K. Fuel was shutting off twice in a row. Was able to get car to drive home. Check engine light came on. Drove to my mechanic had diagnosed. Low fuel pressure rail reading, potential problem with fuel pump or just an anomaly, such as bad gas. Just reset for now, see if it comes back. Real concern on durability, when Ford won't fix paint and carpet issues when car under warranty. Secondly a major reliability issue days after warranty runs out! |
| 29636 mi C $362 |
Faulty Fuel sensor. Car went out of warranty in April 11 2017 with 46,000 km. Problems started 2 weeks after warranty.

Ford refused to assist with payment even though under 60,000 km but over 3 year mark. |
