Replaced fuel pump and gas gauge is showing empty when there is 10 gallons of gas in the tank. I have tried to reset it but that doesn't work. Please recall this and fix them. I do a lot of traveling and I do not want to take the chance of running out of gas.

These lights stay on even after repairs are done. They go off for a couple days and then come back on. This has been going on for at least 2 years.

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 ford windstar. When the contact first purchased the vehicle, it shut off. The rings in the engine had to be replaced. She also heard a rumbling sound when the brake pedal was depressed. An auto repair shop stated that the brakes were operating normally; however, after much complaining, the contact had the front brakes replaced. The windshield wipers stopped working after a new windshield was installed. The vehicle was diagnosed and the motor was found to be the cause of the failure. The motor was replaced. A couple of months later, the vehicle began leaking antifreeze and was towed to a repair shop. The contact was informed that the fuel injection hoses were leaking. The leak was repaired.
