    Ford says in documents filed with U.S. safety regulators that fuel injectors can crack, and gasoline or vapor can accumulate near ignition sources, possibly touching off fires.

    Dealers will install a tube to let gasoline flow away from hot surfaces to the ground below the vehicle

    Wtf? Ford is essentially saying “fuck these cars” here.

      They cannot engineer a stop to the cracking and the leak, only replace the injectors all with new parts, which would cause a backorder millions deep. So the shitty company is saying “the shitty car leaks fuel and we can’t fix it so we made a funnel for gas so you can’t notice if it happens. Also it may be more fire resistant? Good luck!”
