Fuel Gauge Not Working Properly
2005 Ford Explorer (Page 2 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2005 Explorer has a very well-established record of expensive transmission failure at under 100k miles. The Explorer has an enclosed transmission which is typically replaced with a rebuilt transmission at a cost of almost $3,000.
Adding insult to injury, the 2002-2005 Explorer also has a massive problem with the rear panel cracking. While it's a minor annoyance compared to transmission failure, ironically the crack usually goes right through the Ford logo.

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
