Every time the Gas Tank is filled the Gas Gauge reads falsely; as well as the on board computer in the miles to empty screen given you "---". After the tank goes below 1/2 a tank, then the needle and the computer starts working, it’s frustrating because sometimes you don't know how much gas you have and you have to be consciously aware. This also affects the Check Engine Light soon. I have called up the dealer they say its a frequent problem in some of there 2005 Explorer because the sensors, according to service department.

My 2005 explorer xlt did not register any change in the fuel gauge when I filled the tank. It slowly is coming back to full. I like the truck but these little quirks are starting to make me want to run it off a cliff
