Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2020 Ford Explorer

When stopping, moving slow or pulling into a parking spot or garage you can hear and feel the fuel in the tank sloshing back and forth. This happens when the fuel tank is at least 1/2 full and is very noticeable but seems to go away when fuel is under 1/2 tank.

When parking vehicle or backing out of garage slowly, you hear fuel sloshing under the front seats like there is no baffle in the tank. Very very noticeable and also mentioned on this site from other Ford owners. A TSB should be issued by Ford immediately as they did for the same issue with TSB 18-2378. This is not a normal condition and it's a cop out for Ford not to address this problem that they have had in other Ford products and this one now as well!!.

Vehicle will not start when parked on driveway w/ nose facing street if there is less than about a quarter of a tank of gas in it. When tried to many times the dash reads cranking limit exceeded. Vehicle was towed to dealership - 2021 loaner was provided and the same issue happened. Dealership also advised they had another customer with a 2021 Explorer have the same issue a week prior. Was told to park my car in street and not use driveway or to always have more than a quarter tank of gas. These are not acceptable answers.

When starting at intersections or stopping you can hear and feel the fuel in the tank sloshing back and forth. I've taken my vehicle to the dealership and they confirmed the noise and documented it. They reached out to Ford which said they knew of the issue and at this time there is no fix.

Fuel tank sloshing and clunking noise underneath the driver and passenger seats. The vehicle fuel tank design locates a portion of the gas tank under the vehicle and below the seats. When the gas tank is above half full, you can hear and feel the gas moving in the tank, especially at low speed, during traffic with frequent stopping. Not sure how safe is to feel the gas moving inside the fuel tank and the noise when the gas impacts the gas tank walls. When the tank is full and you brake, the fuel sloshes forward and moves something inside and slams against the inside of the tank.
