NHTSA Complaint #10563797 — 2009 FORD FLEX

THE FORD PANEL NEAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW CONTINUES TO COME APART. AS FAR AS THE VEHICLE'S FUEL. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A GAS STATION. I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND MY GAUGE WAS STILL ON EMPTY. SO I GOT WORRIED. THEN I WENT TO A DIFFERENT GAS PUMP AND PUT MORE GAS IN THERE. I STARTED MY CAR AND IT WAS STILL ON EMPTY. I DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER MY GAS GAUGE WAS 3/4 FULL. THIS WAS IN NOVEMBER. THEN ABOUT 5 TIMES AFTER THAT. I WILL BE ON THE LAST MARK BEFORE EMPTY AND NOT ONLY DOES IT GO FROM 80-70 MILES TO E TO COMPLETE 0 MILES, BUT MY GAUGE GOES FROM THAT MARK TO PASS THE E. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND IT WENT FROM THAT SAME MARK ( THE MARK RIGHT BEFORE THE E) AND JUST RAN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TWICE AND THAT CAN'T FIND A CODE. THEY SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN BRING IT BACK IN. BUT THE INCONVENIENCE I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE TIME. IT HAPPENED TODAY FEB 10 2014 AND I RACED TO A GAS STATION. I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AND I'M DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE IS WRONG AND I STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE EITHER BECAUSE I HAVE A KID. I HAVE SEEN SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. SO I'M VERY CONCERNED. *TR
