Three problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 1996 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The dealer is been informing that they are working on fuel guage problem for almost 1 year and replaced the assembly in the fuel tank and contacted Ford several times. I also contacted them and spoke to shawn @ 1-800-392-3673 extn: 3066. He told me Ford will contact me, but, failed to contact. Abs problem came recently. Dealer reaplaced a part, but, did not resolve the problem. As per the dealer the Ford motors are aware of the fuel guage problem from the begining but, failed to come up with a recommendation.
Fuel vent tube failed, fuel sprayed out of the fuel tank when filling the tank.
A splintered two by four pierced the gas tank. Tt.
