FUEL GAUGE---WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, FUEL GAUGE SAID I STILL HAD 185 MILES TO FILL UP. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. NO POWER TO ANY THING. HAD TO HAVE TRUCK TOWED APPROX. 25 MILES TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. AFTER 4 HOURS OF LOOKING FOR THE REASON, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENSOR HAD GONE OUT AND THE COST WOULD BE OVER 1,200.00 TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. THIS IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE PURCHASED AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF THINGS STILL TO HAPPEN. I WAS WONDERING IF FORD WOULD HAVE THIS FIXED FOR ME. THANK YOU, *TR
