Consumer Description

CONTINUOUS AND REPETITIVE MALFUNCTION OF GAS GAUGE. IT OCCURS VERY OFTEN AND IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM IN FORD EXPLORERS. ADDITIVE HAS BEEN ADDED TO NO AVAIL, I THINK FORD JUST WANTS OWNERS TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND PURPOSELY CONTINUES TO DESIGN VEHICLES LIKE THIS. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN...WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE FREEZING COLD WITH TWO BABIES? *TR
