Consumer Description

CAPLESS FUEL FILLER ADAPTER BROKEN OFF WHEN GAS PUMP NOZZLE INSERTED DUE TO POOR FORD DESIGN WHICH CAUSES IT TO BREAK OFF VERY EASILY . THERE WAS A PSEUDO RECALL THAT REQUIRES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BE ON WHICH IS NOT THE CASE WITH MY CAR . MANY FORD OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE . FORD SHOULD PROVIDE COMPLETE REPLACEMENT AS THIS CAPLESS FUEL FILL ASSEMBLY/SYSTEM WAS NOT DESIGNED AND BUILT PROPERLY. THIS CONDITION MAKES MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO INSERT PUMP NOZZLE INTO CAR. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR
