2001 Ford Windstar: fuel pump failure

Filed Nov 2, 2017 · Fuel system · TX

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.

Over thirty separate warranty repairs over two years. Faulty electrical door locks (kids couldn't exit), transmission leakage, transmission failure, front-end defects with loud thumping noises and several body problems.
