Consumer Description

I HAVE A 95 FORD RANGER. THE "FUEL FILLER NECK AND HOSE" HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE TO THE POINT WHERE GAS POURS OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP (NOT A FORD DEALERSHIP) AND CALLED SEVERAL OTHER PLACES AND WAS TOLD BY EVERYONE THAT THIS PART IS NOT SOLD AFTER-MARKET, AND YOU CAN ONLY BUY IT FROM FORD. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MANY FORD RANGER OWNERS ARE LOOKING FOR THIS SAME PART. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT FORD HAD A MONOPOLY ON THIS PART GIVEN THAT IT SUCH A KEY SAFETY COMPONENT. I AM BEING FORCED TO PURCHASE A FORD PART JUST SO MY TRUCK WON'T LEAK GAS, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S LEAKING GAS IN THE FIRST PLACE. THAT'S A BASIC SAFETY FEATURE! I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL VEHICLES NEED REPAIR FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT GAS IN MY TRUCK WITHOUT FEAR OF FIRE FROM THE LEAK. *TR
