Consumer Description

FUEL FILLER NECK LEAKS. THIS OCCURS DIRECTLY OVER THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE OF THE VEHICLE. THE GASOLINE DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THE EXHAUST PIPE UNDER THE BEND. AND NEXT TO THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I HAD A LONG WAY TO GO HOME AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY WATER TO WASH THE HOT PIPES OF FUEL. THE GAS CONTINUED TO DRIP ON THE PIPE MOST OF THE WAY HOME. MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BACK SEAT IF THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2000 MUSTANGS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED PROBLEM. *TR
