Some Ford Flex owners report experiencing sudden drops in the fuel gauge from half full to empty, which may indicate issues such as a disconnected float in the sender unit. Others note that if the gauge fluctuates between full and empty, it could be due to wiring circuit problems, such as a short or open circuit. Additionally, some owners have encountered erratic fuel level readings attributed to a faulty sender unit. To resolve these concerns, it may be necessary to repair or replace the fuel gauge to ensure accurate readings. Many owners recommend having a professional mechanic inspect the fuel gauge system for proper diagnosis and checking the connections between the sending unit and the gauge to prevent faulty readings. Prompt attention to these issues is advised to avoid the risk of running out of fuel unexpectedly.
