While sitting stationary waiting for a traffic light. When the light changed i began to move and ejected a spark plug from my 5.4l triton engine. After hearing a loud popping noise and the cab of the vehicle filled up with gas fumes. Luckly i was close to home.

Having a fuel leak where the tank is strapped to the vehicle. Ford has a recall on this issue, but unfortunately not for my vin number. I expect ford to make this right. It is too coincidental to have the same problem but not be covered for a recall. I cannot afford in any way the cost of the repairs for this problem. Please advise.

Like so many, i had to replace my fuel tank because of holes rusted in it ($500 cost to me). Even after nhtsa "studied" the issue for 10 months, they apparently determined that having gasoline spill out onto the road is not a safety concern for consumers. If this is true, then there is no reason to call the haz mat team in to clean it up, because ray lahood has determined that there is no risk of fire and the…
