Fuel gauge is very innacurate, poor mileage so far (600mi.) engine suddenly shut off while the vehicle was in motion (thank goodness I was coming to a stop at the time) brake line covering is being abraded by contact with the leaf springs (lr).

Fuel tank over flows when filled, causing gas to run onto the ground. This. In turn, creates a serious fire hazard.

Fuel tank level sensor does not accurately indicate level. Ford claims they know about this problem but cannot tell me when they will provide a replacement part and fix the vehicle.
