Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2004 Ford Explorer

Filled up the tank and it registered no fuel, bad fuel sensor.

The fuel gauge shows a false full and the tank does not fill all the way. The fuel gauge shows a false empty showing you have a half a tank when you may actually have 3 gallons. Running out of fuel on the highway is not safe. The gas stations pump shuts off automatically giving you the impression that the tank is full and is confirmed full by an innacurate gas gauge which shows full. So you might have 18 gallons in a tank that should have 22. 5 gallons and the gauge shows a half tank when you have 3-4 gallons.

My gas gauge on my 2004 Ford Explorer has failed me many times. I took it to my dealership & they told me to add some fuel additive to my gas tank & this would cure the problem. Well it has not & my warranty is out!!! I'm very concerned for my wife's safety if she runs out of gas, so we have to keep a written log as to the mileage before fill-up's. I'm told the sensor is bad & would cost close to $1,000. 00 to repair. I have complained to Ford & they refuse to repair since the warranty is out. I have also complained to Ford about a back hatch panel that has cracked for no apparent reason directly under the exterior Ford emblem & they will not repair this since it is out of warranty. These are both for sure manufacturer defects, that Ford should be made to repair at their cost.
