Fuel system, check engine light. I just filled my car up with gas and I drove for less than a mile and the fuel gauge failed to empty and the check engine light came on. After I drove to the dealership to have the problem check out, they were unable to duplicate the problem that day and the next day it went back to normal.
Service engine soon light comes on and says I have no gas when there is a full tank or less.
Purchased new 2005 Ford Explorer after first 100 miles fuel gauge went falsely to empty and service engine light came on. Dealership advised the fuel sending unit for my vehicle is defective. Ford has already issued a tech bulletin on the issue in may 2005 yet they are still selling the vehicle knowing the units are failing. Will require them to remove my gas tank and replace unit. I beleive this should have been done prior to selling this vehicle or I shouldhave been notified of the potential problem prior to purchasing.
