Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2007 - Fuel Gauge Rises Slowly After Fill

I have a 2007 F150 XLT with 150K Km. Recently the fuel gauge rises slowly ( 2 start up or 40 minutes of driving ) to the full mark after fill up. The truck is always fueled with Cheveron "regular" gas. What could be the problems ... float, sensor, fuel gauge? and how to check them?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 - Doors Not Responding To Key Fob

3 days ago I went to open car ( 2008 gen II ) with keyfob - got red led on fob when pressing door open but no indicator lights flash or door servo click, also same with spare keyfob ( both keyfobs have good batteries ) - so I manually tried all the doors to check if one had been left partially closed as I know this will cause a non response from the keyfob, then I used the manual key to open driver door which it did ( servo functioned properly but when opening the door the alarm went off so had to put keyfob in ignition/press start & only after several seconds did the car shut report ready mode. This was a bit emabarrising as there was a film crew next door in the middle of a shoot ( cringe mode - oops !! as I sneakily drove past them in stealth mode...well nearly ! ) . This has not happened again so far.

Anyway cant find any posts here with exact same issue only issues pertaining to the 12v aux battery which I personally replaced 3 months ago with a standard lead acid as the old one was reporting 9.7v along with the intermittent red triangle hybrid system dashboard warning ( yes I know I am meant to use a glass matt type but hey the battery is tucked away in a deep boot cavity & I would worry more about the bad hybrid battery pack under the back seat hitting me first in a serious rear end collision as opposed to a litre or so of acid ).

Having this problem with the locked doors not responding to the keyfob ?, my own personal viewpoint is that I neglected to properly close the drivers door as shortly afterwords the wind done it for me and perhaps placed the car into some sort of lockdown mode ?

Prius (2004-09) :: No Start - Automatic Doors / Windows Were Not Responding

I came back from a vacation of 10 days and tried to start my 2007 Prius and it was not starting when I had the key in my pocket (as it used to before)...The automatic doors, windows etc were not responding as well to the remote...

So I inserted the key physically and it came on with the Malfunction light and then beeped for a few seconds and then that light went away as well...I pressed the on off button to turn off the car...

I ejected the key and then reinserted it and now it is not even showing any indicator light...

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - CEL Comes On After Gas Fill?

I have a 2006 Toyota Prius, it has 283000 miles and still running strong on original battery and engine.

Lately, I noticed that when I fill the gas tank the check engine light comes on after 2 days of driving. After I get under half a tank, the check engine light will turn off. the check engine light will return after 2 days of filling up.

Other than that, there is nothing wrong with the car. And I get 55 mpg highway and 45 city.

What is the cause of this and you think this could be a serious problem?

Touareg :: Gauge Shows Near Empty, Prior Fill Up

So I fill up today, 20plus gallons, the gauge shows near empty prior fill-up and after it is very very slow to show full. First I was confused and to make certain I filled again but the tank is full.. So, I guess a) the gauge is just slow to react or b) the sending unit called it quits or c)

Gmc - 1500 :: 2001 - Gas Gauge Always Register Empty When Fill Up The Car

I've got a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with about 80,000 miles and with a gas gauge that is possessed. It sometimes appears to be working normally, but is just as likely to do very weird things, like: When I fill up the car with gas, it will always register empty. And it will stay there until it sees fit to move to full. BUT: if, as I'm traveling down the road, I move the transmission from drive to neutral, the gas gauge will move to full. This also happens arbitrarily between fill-ups, with the gauge sometimes registering empty and sometimes finding some random place around where it should be. Once again, if I put the car in neutral, the gauge will move to its correct position (at least I think it's the correct position!). I was told my one mechanic that the problem is that the fuel pump is wearing out, and that this problem is not uncommon for the Chevy/GMC trucks. The fuel pump is in the gas tank, I'm told, so to replace the fuel pump is rather expensive.

Impala - Chevrolet :: 2003 - Gas Gauge Not Working Properly After Fill Up

I have a 2003 Impala with about 122,000 miles on it. On my recent fill up I by accident put in mid grade over the normal unleaded, now I now that won't cause any engine issues that I am aware of, but after doing this fill up my gas gauge is not working properly. When I start the car in the morning the gauge will go to where it should given the mileage I have driven to this point but as I drive the car the gauge goes up to almost full then down some but never back to where it should be. what might be causing this floating incorrect reading by my gas gauge.

Prius (2004-09) :: Fill Up In Ready Mode - Gas Capacity On Bladder Decreased Significantly

I used to fill up with gas without shutting the car down, because I didn't see a need for it. I would disable the fan on the climate control every time to avoid having the ice come on as I refueled. I figured that because the ice wasn't coming on, I wasn't breaking the law. I've since changed my mind about this, after reading posts here on Prius Chat. I also recently noticed on the last few fillups that it seems like the gas capacity on the bladder has decreased significantly.

I used to be able to refuel the car when it was down to a single flashing pip and put 10.5 gallons in with no problem, and without overfilling. I have always been careful not to overfill. However, it seems like now I can get only 8 gallons in at the most. The capacity has decreased with the colder weather, however I used to be able to get 10 gallons in on a consistent basis without overfilling even during the winter.

Is this reduced bladder capacity a result of damage to the system, or is this normal? I have probably filled the car up about 100 times since I've owned it (odometer is around 50K now) while remaining in the ready mode.

Is there anything I can do to expand the capacity of the bladder back to normal, or will I have to live with this? Although it's annoying, I'm not going to spend the money to replace the fuel tank unless it's truly necessary.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Fuel Gauge Slow To Respond After Fill Up

Yesterday went to fill up ($4.05 a gallon geezz!) and noticed that after getting back into the cab, the fuel gauge still showed almost empty. So after yelling a few expletives, I looked again and noticed the gauge starting to make it's way up the dial. It took almost 30 min. before it showed almost full. I'm not sure what the problem is, as the gauge seems to still function. I don't drive the truck much as I use it as a tow vehicle. However, I do try and take it for a spin about 3-4 times a month just to exercise it. I was wondering if the fuel has started to gel and that is the reason for the slow fuel gauge response. Should I add a fuel conditioner/cleaner now that I have a full tank?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Height Control Switch Not Responding

I was driving today and noticed the ride was a harsh and bumpy. I stopped the car and try raising the car by pressing the up arrow on the height control switch, however, nothing happened.

The height control indicator is on "N" and it does not change when I press the height control switch either "UP" or "DOWN".

I found a few cases online where people stated that the "Height Control Button Off" button would flash. I have no flashing or warning lights in my dashboard.

Nissan - Murano :: 2004 - Gas Pedal Not Responding After Complete Stop

I have a Nissan Murano 2004 SL AWD.I got the car last year and since I got the car, my gas pedal was not working properly during certain condition. You would think my car is haunted, believe me!

The main problem is: after driving for 30 minutes, when I come to a complete stop, my gas pedal does not respond directly. I have to press the gas pedal all the way and release it for the car to start driving.The more I do this process after the problem occurs, the more time the gas pedal will respond after I completely floor it. For example, after 15 minutes of such problem occurring, I need about 2.5 seconds for the gas pedal to work after flooring it. After 30 min of the problem occurring, I need about 3 sec. to 3.5 sec. and on a hill, the respond time takes even longer!

Now here is the funny part...I have notice that whenever it's hot outside, the problem with my gas pedal does not occur after 30 minutes but it will occur after less time, maybe after 15 to 20 minutes of driving.When it's colder like during the winter the problem will occur after 40 minutes of driving.

Here is another funny thing. When my gas pedal start acting up, if I go to park my car and turn my engine off for about... 5 to 10 minutes, less or more, the gas pedal starts working again for the next 10 to 15 minutes before acting up again.

I really want to fix it.It's not bothering me sometimes but today I was at a red light on a hill and my car just did not accelerate at all for about 3 seconds while my car was sliding down and people beeping at me. It's really getting me irritated!
