Example complaints
Engine cooling: “I have a 2000 Ford expedition that when driving, as soon as the low fuel light comes on, the engine shuts off. I had several occasions when I am less than a mile from a gas station, and the truck has trouble making it to the gas station. There are several instances when my SUV is parked up hill and it has more than a quarter tank of gas, and it has a hard time starting. I have to put it on neutral, let it roll backwards and put it on level surface before it can start again. Recently it has started shutting off when I drive, with a reasonable amount of fuel. …”
