- 2013 Ford Explorer Limit.
Bought my new 2013 Ford Explorer Limited in January 2013. I know the car is not broken in but every since I've received it, no matter how it was driven it gave me 14.2 mpg. Now it is April 2013 and I am starting to smell fuel leaking somewhere. I've taken it to the local ford dealership and they find nothing wrong. the next day I go to the garage and smell leakage again... my wife drives it and calls me and says the smell is terrible. the Car has now been at the dealership for three days. On day one they say they can not see any leaks but at least now they do smell it also. On day #2 they call the Ford head office for help & I've told them that researching this online say the leak can be on the top side of the fuel tank and the tank will need to be removed. Now it is day #3 and the service writer calls and says the are removing the fuel tank and replacing the fuel pump sender. After all of this on a vehicle that you spend $47000 for (tax, license etc OTD) I wonder if this problem will be solved. I am posting this because the car is new... Should there be a recall on something.. I notice that there was a thread about the fuel tanks... umm.. what really is the problem?
