Lost Identity

[MYXR6T]

Hi Guys/Gals,

just need to ask if any of you guys have had an issue with "lost identity" in a BA XR6 Turbo, auto. When the car was under warranty it started playing around on the trip computer, it would show 180kms then a few seconds later 100 or 80 the gauge would move around as well, the car would run out of fuel even though it was showing just under 1/4 of a tank of fuel.

Took it to ford and they said the car had " lost it's identity" whatever that means, so it got fixed and all was fine.

Now car has run out of warranty and the bloody thing is happening again !! Ran out of fuel again with the gauge showing there is fuel in there under a 1\4 of a tank.

Can ford only fix this or can anyone help me steered in the right direction to fix it once and for all. Have lost faith on Ford service, been screwed around too many times ! (with other issues) Don't get me started as it's another story with those F#ckers !!

Anyway hope someone can help,

Thanks guys

Alex.

Sounds like a BS story from a not so good dealership service dept. Try another Ford dealer or ring Ford Customer Relationship Centre and tell them of your problem, explaining that it occurred during warranty and now again and that you would like them to consider a claim on it - if it is only a matter of the dealer connecting the diagnostics and recalibrating your BCM or PCM it shouldn't be a big deal.

yeah that's what I thought Turbo6man,

but then I thought maybe it's a new technical

phrase

I didn't want to take it up with ford as the warranty

is up, but might give it a go anyway as it did happen

during the warranty period.

Thanks for that,

Alex.
