The fuel gauge in my 2015 Taurus/Interceptor is showing inaccurate fuel levels; it will show there is less fuel in the tank than there actually is, causing me to think I am possibly going to run out of fuel.

TWICE THE POWER WENT OFF ON MY CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND GOT POWER BACK. THE CAR MAKES NOISE WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT THE FORD TAURUS DOES THIS. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE NOISE IS WHERE YOU WONDER IF YOU ARE SAFE, AND PROBABLY WOULD NEVER FIND A BUYER FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SOMETIMES FROM THE RADIO, AND WHEN I USE THE PHONE. WEIRD. THE BLUE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAN BE BLINDING. HAD MY EYES CHECKED BY A SPECIALIST AND NOT MY EYES. ONE TIME I HAD LEFT MY CAR RUNNING IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN WALKING AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR, THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND DAMAGED THE DOOR ON THE GARAGE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY THE CAR LOSING POWER TWICE ON A HIGHWAY IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO, AND TWO MONTHS AGO WAS THE SECOND TIME.
