2011 MERCURY MARINER Complaints

This car has excessive under body rust under all the wheels wells. I was just told that my car would not pass a State Inspection because the on the front drivers side there is a bracket that holds up the engine is almost totally gone. I have read and over that this vehicle has a known rust and corrosion issue and Mercury/Ford has not been made responsible. I bought this car from a Ford Dealer in Aberdeen, MD used in 2018 and made them aware that I noticed rust on the rear wheel panels. They told me there is no recall however now I am not in a position to purchase or fix the entire under carriage of this vehicle. And I do not feel safe that an important bracket supporting the engine is totally rusted out.

When I put gas in my car i smell it while driving like it’s leaking and it say on my dash board check fuel inlet

I'M VERY UPSET AND ON THE VERGE OF TEARS! MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED ON ME! I ALMOST WRECKED! THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES & I HAVE NO WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD
