Since i bought my car about 3 to 4 months ago, i have had my car into the ford dealership 4 times, to have the engine light checked. it came on the 1st time the day after i bought it, and has come on 3 times since at random times. the ford service dept. has put it through the machines they have, and have not been able to find the "very small evaporatve leak" they say it has, they have contacted ford motor company and all they can say is the system is too sensitive for some reason and until they can find a fix for it, if they can i will just have to keep bringing it in every time it comes on and have them run it through the machine and turn the light off. *tr
I had the same complaint about gas fill-up. i live near the beach and i noticed something rather strange about the wind off the coastline. if the car was facing east , it filled just fine but when facing west it would not fill. the dealer was stumped. it appears that the breeze/wind causes the fumes to trap and the car thinks it's full already . . . it's hard to believe but no problem anymore filling the tank - just keep the car facing the wind!! *tr
