Consumer Description

UPON EXITING MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AND APPROACHING THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR I OBSERVED A DRIPPING OF LIQUID COMING FROM THE AREA IN FRONT OF AND TOWARD THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE. I FELT IT WAS GASOLINE AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER TO GET A DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE WAS LEAKING. AFTER THE DEALER SERVICE INVESTIGATION IT WAS REPORTED THAT IT CAME FROM AN AREA ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TANK AND WAS RUST THROUGH. THE AREA DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE PROPER COATING ON IT.
