| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 2005 ford explorer which i purchased brand new in october 2004, when all of a sudden my gas gauge was reading e and my service engine soon light was on. this happened may 13, 2005. i immediately brought it to the dealer and was told that the fuel pump needed to be changed. since i had filled the tank the day before they wanted me to drive around and use the gas up. i refused and the wound up draining my tank. well after filling my tank up on january 20, 2006 again my gauge is ready almost e and the dash keeps telling me i have a low fuel level. this time i wasn't even driving it happened after restarting my car when they finished pumping my gas. back to the dealer i go and again i am told that the fuel pump needs to be checked out and or changed again but this time they drain the gas and since the tank is full i am supposed to drive the vehicle until i use most of the gas. i am told they do have the part in stock to make the repair. i don't like the idea of having to drive around not knowing how much gas i have. this is ridiculous. *nm |
