 Original filler neck grommet and seal replaced at our expense in 4/89- reimbursed by dealer in 1990. second failure occurred 6/97, and parts replaced at our expense with no reimbursement. third failure occurred 11/26/98-have not yet notified dealer. noticeable when fuel tank is filled at 15gallons or more, gas runs down over bottom of tank onto ground. same situation as happened in 1989 and 1997. feel this is a safety issue and we should not be expected to continually pay for ford's negligence in producing defective parts. also replaced both inner and outer tie rods.
