Went on a trip with the vehicle. When returning to home put the vehicle in the garage. Came out the next day and the Garage smelled like a gas can. Looked all around could not find signs of the gas. Got in the truck and was overwhelmed by gas smell. Moved the vehicle out of the garage. Googled the issue and found 170 pages of people with the same issue. The engine is filling with gas and overfilling the engine. Lots of people have taken vehicles to the dealer and ford is advising changing the oil more often and not drive short trips. This seems to be a possible fire hazard to me. If continued driving the gas will eventually come out and pour onto the hot engine resulting in a fire?
I purchased a new 2022 Ford Ranger it has 6000 miles. I had it back to the dealer twice it hesitate when taking off from start at red light- stop sign and entering highway this in my mind is a safety problem when a care/truck hesitate in traffic there seem a problem with there new ECO-BOOST engine/transmission my truck will return again on 8/1 for another service call for the same problem.
