2007 FORD EDGE — Complaint #1114002
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK filed September 26, 2014
NHTSA complaint #1114002 (ODI reference 10639361) concerns a 2007 FORD EDGE and was filed on September 26, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 10, 2014. The vehicle had 61,972 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Delaware based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD EDGE cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 FORD EDGE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
