The gas gauge just stopped working can be very costly repair from what I understand we bought the car new.

I have a 2005 ford taurus. After buying this vehicle the dealership has closed its doors. I have been to a few shops that are not sure how to fix my dashboard problem. My fuel gauge is not readable. I have had quotes to be over 1000.00. I do not have that kind of money to repair this. I just had our ford truck in for a bad coil. I have never had to replace those. The mechanic said our truck that the fords will run hot. It had burnt wires in the coil. We are hoping for no further damage. No warning lights or anything. I guess at my mileage and fill my tank. I just cant believe that it is a guessing game and can't get this repaired for less. I am outraged as a ford owner. We have had these vehicles maintained.
