    Fuel Tank Issue

    Took my car to get the replaced fuel tank in 2005 because it was clicking off the pump and spewing gasoline everywhere. Replaced, no questions asked. Still doing it (don't fill up often, rarely drive it, 2 years old and 7200 miles). Took it back in this past Monday. Today, Friday, get a...

    Dash power outlet

    Hey guys... I have a TomTom Go 700. It is powered by the dash power outlet while in my vehicle. Like a lot of the adapters, it has a little green light that comes on when it is plugged into the power outlet to indicate that the adapter is receiving power. This light comes on even if the...

    My rattles are history...

    I got my two rattles fixed. The first was coming from the door handle bezels. I was able to show the service shop foreman, Kenny, where they were. According to the ticket I got when my car was returned to me yesterday, they removed the bezels and put "anti-rattle" pads on the back of them...

    My rattle is discovered....

    I've been listening to this rattle forever (well, one of the rattles, as a lot of the car makes strange noises)... it's in the doors. Apparently, it's the piece behind the door handle on the inside. If you think of the little area where the door handle is as a room, it's the far wall. It's...

    Parking Break Problem

    Well, this is weird. To me, at least. This morning I started my car with all of the defrosters on. I let it warm up for about 20 minutes and then when I went to drive it, I let off of the parking break and started to move. STALL. Anyways, apparently, even with the handle down, the...

    Beep!

    I have a 1.1 mile drive to work. Strangest thing happened this morning. I was turning left at a stoplight and my car beeped at me. Apparently for no reason. Well, then it beeped several more times on my way to work. No indicator of why it was beeping. Finally, I happened to notice once...

    Strange stereo problem.

    My vehicle: 2005 Black V6, built 04/05. I was leaving my parents' house on Saturday. After driving about 1/2 mile I decided to turn on the stereo (shaker 500). I've never had any problems with it before (it is a "B" series). I hit FM and it turned on to 94.9 where I had left it before...

    Warning: Upgrading Guage Cluster

    I purchased the guage cluster w/messaging center and the switch to install in my 2005 v6. Should have been an easy install except that the wiring harness was missing everything having to do with the messaging center. I'm going to attempt to contact Ford today but their computers are down...

    Calibrator

    I'm curious about how something like the x-calibrator would work. Even if I had it, where exactly does it plug in to the car? If you have pictures, that would be helpful, too. Thanks.

    Drop Glass Windows

    Have any of you noticed if your window touches the top of the door frame as you open it? When you open it, it drops down like it should, but does anyone have theirs actually tap the frame as it goes by it? I'm thinking it might not have enough time to get down below the frame before the door...
