Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)FUEL GAUGE IS SWEEPING BACK AND FORTH BEFORE RESTING ON EMPTY WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT NOW THE GAUGE REMAINS ON EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON AND THE MILES TO EMPTY READING AS "---" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER TOLD ME ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS THE REASON FOR THE GAUGE ACTING LIKE THIS.
VEHICLE FLOAT SENSOR HAS WENT BAD AT 143,000 AND NOW THE EGR IS FAULTY AT 146,000

KEEP GETTING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIE TO CAPLESS GAS SYSTEM
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
