NHTSA Complaint #11297832 — 2011 FORD EDGE

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING FUEL/GAS OR SULFUR LIKE SMELL IN MY SUV TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN RICHMOND, CA 3 TIMES STARTING IN APRIL 2017, JAN 2019 AND AGAIN SEPT 2019 FINALLY I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A PTU UNIT EACH TIME I TOOK IT NEED THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BECOME VERY BAD AND MORE OFTEN MY CAR DOES NOT LEAK GAS. I AM REALLY CONCERN BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO SCHOOL PLUS I AM OVER 70 YRS AND WORRY IF SOMEONE RUNS INTO ME WILL MY CAR CATCH ON FIRE OR ONE DAY IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY SOMETIMES IF I'M DRIVING UP A HILL OR FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (MAYBE AN HOUR OR SO) AND IT ONLY HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE SMELL FILLS MY ENTIRE CAR THAT I HAVE TO LET ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND ONCE I GET HOME THE WHOLE CAR SMELLS TO THE POINT I GET SICK (NAUSEA) EYES BURN AND A HEADACHE. I HAVE BEEN SO DISCUSSED WITH DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETECT THIS PROBLEM 2 YRS AGO. I AM SO SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM BY FORD.
