NHTSA Complaint #10171394 — 2000 FORD E SERIES

I HAVE A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION THAT WHEN DRIVING, AS SOON AS THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I AM LESS THAN A MILE FROM A GAS STATION, AND THE TRUCK HAS TROUBLE MAKING IT TO THE GAS STATION. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN MY SUV IS PARKED UP HILL AND IT HAS MORE THAN A QUARTER TANK OF GAS, AND IT HAS A HARD TIME STARTING. I HAVE TO PUT IT ON NEUTRAL, LET IT ROLL BACKWARDS AND PUT IT ON LEVEL SURFACE BEFORE IT CAN START AGAIN. RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHEN I DRIVE, WITH A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL. ALSO THE SERVICE ENGINE HAS COME ON, IT RUNS ROUGH. I HAVE PERFORMED ALL MAINTENANCE SERVICES ON THIS SUV. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE COME CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED AND OR GETTING STRANDED. I ALSO OWN A GMC TRUCK, AND WHEN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON, I CAN STILL DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR MORE THAN 15 MILES. I HAVE PERFORMED ALL MAINTENANCE SERVICES ON THIS VEHICLE, AND IT HAS NOT SHUT OFF ON ME EVER. THIS IS A COMPARISON ONLY. I AM TAKING MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION TO GET SCANNED FOR PROBLEM CODES TOMORROW AND FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE ARE OR HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE, AND IF THERE IS , WHY HAS FORD NOT MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. *NM
