The dealer is been informing that they are working on fuel guage problem for almost 1 year and replaced the assembly in the fuel tank and contacted Ford several times. I also contacted them and spoke to shawn @ 1-800-392-3673 extn: 3066. He told me Ford will contact me, but, failed to contact. ABS problem came recently. Dealer reaplaced a part, but, did not resolve the problem. As per the dealer the Ford motors are aware of the fuel guage problem from the begining but, failed to come up with a recommendation.
