Fuel neck began to leak, within 2 weeks it was loosing almost a gallon of fuel on a $20. 00 fill. I contacted Ford twice, I was told to take it to a Ford dealership, I got an attitude from the dealership so I spent the $110. 00 on a Ford part and $180. 00 on the labor at another service station. Advised Ford of the safety hazard, apparently didn't concern them enough to contact me and make good on the repairs.
