    After a big freeze my fuel level gauge stopped working. I have replaced every sensor and fuse possible, along with multiple new fuel pumps. It has been taken to a certified Ford Dealership and they can’t find the problem. There is a Ford recall that already explains the problem exactly. It is Ford 26C26. I am not able to get my vehicle inspected and without knowing exactly what my fuel level is it could leave me stranded.

    Purchased CPO Ford F150 in 2000 to replace Explorer in MA. Used 4 wheel drive in winter the past two seasons to learn after spending over $1000 and driving a vehicle with reduced MPG due to a known TSP 24-2188 that this is a defect that affects fuel efficiency by close to six miles per gallon. Called Balise Ford after learning updated TSB requires flashing of the onboard TCCM. They would not touch it without charging me. Why can a manufacturer design a flawed system that…

    My truck dies for no reason when in park, or drive going very slowly. My vehicle is available for inspection if desired. This is very dangerous to have a running vehicle die when driving, or stopped at a red light. This has happened multiple times. I usually know when it's about to happen because my vehicle shakes, sometimes very hard, right before it happens. The dealership has stated that it will be expensive to diagnose because it happens irregularly, and they have no…

    Engine has began making lots of noises such as ticking and banging. Loss of power when driving the vehicle, extremely high fuel consumption resulting in maybe 10mpg with an 2.7 eco boost engine. Every start up of the vehicle results in large clouds of blue smoke emitting from the exhaust. I believe my engine is having the same failure as the new recall and my vehicle shall be included even though it’s a 2017. Why is mine not included when all the signs are pointing to the…
