Fuel pump was being replaced. Townsend Ford performed the job. Tech broke cheap plastic clip requiring fuel filler neck to be replaced. It's defective. Will not seal. Gas vapor leak. Check engine stays on. Ford has problem with supplier. None in country told to me about a couple months ago. Still none now. Gas vapor leak is health hazard and unsafe in my opinion. They keep blowing me off on resolution. Can you help? -thanks-

Fuel pump broke. There was a recall for this problem, but this vehicle was not affected by recall although it has same problem. With cruise control engaged, vehicle won't stop unless consumer stomped on gas pedal several times, consumer states the gas pedal seemed stuck and acceleration wouldn't stop.
