Driving a ticking time Bomb!!

<div>&nbsp;I bought a used ford focus st from Palm motors Whiteriver last year which I took delivery of early March 2019. In April the car started illuminating check engine light and sometimes switching of when I stop. Took it in for check up then I was told the car had shrunk it's fuel tank and some gas nozzles by the tank is blocked thus causing the engine light, idling and shrinking fuel tank. A new tank and nozzle had to be ordered from Germany and that took me up to June not in the comfort of what I was paying for. It was replaced in June. The engine light started again in July and now with a little smell of petrol fumes. I took the car back to Ford for inspection. Same results,nozzle blocked and tank is starting to shrink. The service advisors at Ford advised me to return the vehicle back to where I bought it from because it will repeatedly do the same thing as the vehicle is not meant to be driven on dusty or gravel roads, and that's where I stay. I approached the dealer asked him to take his car back and instead he suggested I wait while they search another car for me. I waited until late September to no communication then drove the car to the dealership and left it there with the salesman. Their lawyers sent me letters to come collect the car late November or they will charge storage cost because my car has been long fixed. Well I took the car which in the 3rd of January it stopped in the middle of traffic, engine light and no idling. The dealership came and fetched it and there I decided no more, it was enough, this car was to explode 1 day with me inside. From March 2019 till today I was extremely inconvenienced in such a way that my business collapsed. The dealership refuses to terminate the lease contract hence the manufacturers of the car specifically said car not to be driven on dirt road. The finance house wants their installments for a car a merely drove for 4 months and has endless life threatening defects. I need assistance or intervention so that the horror can end, and I can start from scratch&nbsp;</div>
