gas gauge not working properly ... dealer knew what prob was ... unit needs replaced but Ford requires that a cleaner be tried in the fuel first. That worked for about 3 months then I had to go back. They replaced the unit on the next visit. Here's hoping it is the end of it. Pointer: better keep documentation if they only clean it while under warranty b/c my opinion is that sooner or later the unit will have to be replaced.

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

Sometimes the fuel gauge stays in "empty", alarm of low fuel sounds and the status computer indicates "low fuel", even after filling the tank "full". The gauge and computer go to normal after some hours, never more than 24 hours "so far".
This is very annoying, the first time I had an embarrassing discussion with the guy serving the gas station, after I paid for a full tank and left the station, the gauge indicated "empty".
