Problem: vehicle cranks but no start. Vehicle was towed from my garage to ford dealer service dept. Service manager's . Diagnosis found the fuel pump inoperable. Replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter.

My 2000 ford explorer will not start on an incline. We've replaced the fuel pump and now the ford dealership tells me that the gas tank is corroded, the baffles are broken and the air intake valve is defective. This car is only 5 years old. I have had other cars for 10-15 years and have not had a corrosion problem within the fuel tank. I believe this is caused by a defective fuel tank...how can I pursue this matter. The dealer wants $1600 to fix the car.

Whenever vehicle was at a stop light or sign it idled and stalled. After stalling vehicle could be restarted immediately. Also, fuel pump was not pumping fuel properly, and was replaced by the dealer.

Stopped car in traffic to make a left hand turn. Vehicle would not go when gas pedal was pressed. Felt like vehicle was in neutral. Then after awhilte it lunged forward with great force. I was able to stop and avoided a collision. This time they replaced the transmission. Previously they replaced the fuel pump.
