Description of the problem | Inaccurate fuel gauge. First issue - my car would be reading that i had (example) 15 miles until empty and really i had 0 miles until empty. Ran out of gas twice because of this issue. Second issue - my car will stall out in the middle of driving/accelerating at any given time. Much worse when i have less than a half/quarter tank. My car will still stall even when i do have more than a half tank of gas. Most times, my car will not restart after the stall. This issue is more likely to happen as soon as i turn the car on, at a dead stop then about to accelerate, in stop and go traffic. I bought the car in june of 2018 and started to notice the fuel tank issue pretty quickly. The stalling out issue started to happen shortly after. I did receive a recall notice from ford. |
