I purchased this vehicle in March 2023 from a private owner from Craigslist that was listed at 130,000 miles. I’m currently in the process of selling and found out through a car history report that my vehicle passed an emission inspection at 230,000 miles in February 2023 and was also purchased from an auction, a month before I purchased it. The owner did not give any of this information and tampered with the odometer. I ran a vehicle history report today August 20, 2025 and retrieved all of this information that was not presented to me during this transaction.

When filling the gas tank, even at the slowest setting on the gas pump, when the pump clicks to indicate the tank is full, 5 seconds later the tank burps fuel everywhere and the tank is only 3/4 full. The fumes are a safety risk to people, the fuel on the ground is bad for the environment, and there have been instances when I have been sprayed with fuel. I took the vehicle to my local mechanic and they were not able to find anything wrong. I took the vehicle to the local Ford dealership and they indicated everything was working properly. I took the vehicle back to Ford again and I was told the only other possible thing to do would be to replace the fuel tank, but the fuel tank is not pr
