    Fuel Tank Issue

    That's exactly what I was thinking last time it happened to me. For what it's worth, the dealership called today conducting a short survey to find out if I was please with the service I received when my car was in the shop...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I agree. Unfortunately when I said that to Ford, they didn't agree.

    Fuel Tank Issue

    My complaint with both the EPA and the NHTSA indicated that the fuel does spew back out of the tank and onto the ground/person fueling the vehicle.

    Fuel Tank Issue

    When I asked the lady at Ford virtually the same question, yes, it is still not a problem with the car. I tried fueling with the pump upside-down (NASCAR-style) today. No premature shutoff, which is good. But it did pump about $0.60 worth of fuel onto the ground before it did shut off...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I just got a call from Ford. Apparently they have now done their research and have determined that they are not going to make any attempts to fix my vehicle. They said that if they put another fuel tank on the car that there is no guarantee that I won't still have the problem and for that...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Believe me, I have tried pumping slower. If you pump slower, the pump will not click off, it will merely pump the fuel right out of the tank onto the side of your car and then onto the ground.

    Fuel Tank Issue

    And in my opinion, Ford shouldn't be able to get away with leaving them unrepaired. It's not only ridiculously inconvenient, but it is also a safety and environmental issue (at least in the cases where it not only shuts off but also spews out).

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Most recently for me at bp station (even though Ford recommends BP with the little advert on the fuel cap). Prior to that it has happened for me at Citgo, Chevron, Exxon and Shell. Also a couple of other no-name local types, too. No rhyme or reason to it except that it is the Mustang...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Update Ford Customer Care called me back yesterday evening. They said that unfortunately there is no known fix for the problem. I kindly explained to them that it is not my problem and certainly not my responsibility to fix it or live with it. So, they have escalated the issue to their...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I don't do that. Actually, to be honest, I've never even seen the "low fuel" light come on in the Mustang. When I went to fill it up the other day, it had about 1/2 tank in it. After about fifteen minutes, it was up to about 9-10/16 of a tank. That's where it is now, minus the 20 miles that...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Jennifer, Thanks for the reply. I have a call into Ford Customer Care and am waiting to hear back from them. I have also spoken with the Service Manager at the dealership and also plan to speak with the General Manager as well. We'll see how that goes, and then I will see who else I need...

    I cropped the scan down, but it still shows the relevant information.

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Not sure why it didn't attach. I tried attaching a jpg. If you want me to email it to you, let me know. It's good for a laugh. I can't get it small enough to attach. Let me know and I'll email it.

    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

    Yeah, and if I turn the TomTom off (while leaving it plugged in) it will charge the battery on the TomTom (granted, it's almost always fully charged at that point). I usually disconnect it from the base but was wondering about leaving the adapter plugged into the vehicle.

    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...

    Question about cheap interior

    Mine rattles like crazy... it's like it was built out of legos.

    My rattles are history...

    Dash Well, I still have a dash rattle, too... but I plan to get that one looked at when I get my oil changed, too. They weren't able to find a rattle in the dash when I took it in (had 3 distinct rattles, total).

    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...
