Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED. 50500 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. THE 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON' DASH LIGHT IS ALSO ON. THE DEALER QUOTED ME ~$800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM (THINKS IT'S LIKELY THE 'FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT'). $200 FOR THE PART AND 4HRS LABOR. I HAVE NOT DONE THE REPAIR, I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON LINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR
