Dt*: the contact stated while putting fuel in the vehicle the fuel nozzle must be held in a certain position to obtain a correct reading from the fuel gauge. Before putting fuel into the vehicle the fuel gauge read half a tank, while attempting to put fuel into the vehicle it showed full. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, they replaced the storage tank. However, this did not correct the problem.
2006 Ford Mustang fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 44 of 44, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I recently purchased a 2006 mustang and on the two occasions I have had to put gas in the tank, both times prior to the pump discharge shutting off, fuel has spewed out of the filler neck and down the side of the car. I have used two different stations with the same results. I also talked to a coworker who owns a 2005 mustang and he has the same problem, and only avoids the problem by putting in a few dollars worth of gas at a time. Never filling up. I'm worried that my daughter who frequently drives the car, could be placed in a bad situation should a fire break out. Especially when it gets warmer outside.
On 2006 mustang gt, experienced erratic fuel gauge reading once fuel level dropped below 1/2 tank. Experienced failure during initial start of vehicle for the day. Approx. 3/8 tank available when vehicle turned off previous night. Gauge read "e" with "0 miles to empty" on digital display.
Dt*: the contact stated when attempting to fill the gas tank with gasoline, and once the tank is half full, the gas will back up through the filler neck and spill out of the spout onto the vehicle. This is intermittent in nature. The vehicle has been seen by a dealer. The dealer determined the filler neck was functioning normal. However, the service department instructed the contact to use a different gas station that offered a different type of gas pump nozzle. The dealer's service department suspected the gas pump was forcing the gasoline into the tank at a high rate which resulted in the leak. The contact did as instructed by the dealer, but when attempting to fill the tank, the same problem occurred.
