Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problems of the 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

I was driving in town and it stalled out. It kept happening at least three times a week even when I was on the freeway. I had far too many close calls from wrecking or causing an accident. I went and had it looked at by a mechanic and he replaced the spring in the fuel reset switch. It is currently in the shop once more for the same problem. My check engine light is also on again. Has been for the last year. It claims there is something wrong with the fuel cap or the fuel lines. Ive had a pressure test done and my gas cap changed and it still hasnt fixed the problem. Also my driver side door handle is starting to get stuck and my fuel gauge is no longer registering the actual amount of gas I have. I have so many problems with this truck and I just want them to be fixed. This stuff is dangerous and can cause legitimate accidents and safety issues.

The fuel gauge in my 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac stopped working recently. The engine light stays on as well. I wasn't sure how much gas was in the truck so I filled it up and the engine light went off. After driving for several days, I noticed my fuel gauge was still sitting on "f" which I know wasn't right, eventually the fuel gauge came down some and the engine light came back on and has stayed on since. I have about 67k on it now. I've really enjoyed this vehicle and have always maintained it's checkups. I'm taking it tomorrow to see what it will cost to fix. I don't like driving around and not knowing how much gas I have or the fact that the engine light remains on. I don't know if its on because the gauge is broke or because something else could be going on with the engine. Either way, I'm sure it's going to cost alot, what vehicle maintenance doesn't. I've read a lot of complaints about this on line and am surprised nothing has been mentioned about this by Ford; but then again, why would Ford want to fix something themselves when they can charge the customer an arm and a leg instead!!!!.
