| Ford has the check engine light, which they refer it to check engine soon that comes on. there is a defect with ford's capless fuel tank. something about this issue causes the check engine light to light up non-stop! i am concerned that down the line, there will be numerous issues with the capless systems. it does not appear durable and will cost hundreds out of the pocket of owners whose warranty will expire after 2-3 years!!!!!!!!!!! a search on the internet does show consumers who have problems with this type of system, but then again there are thousands of those who are not computer savvy! | |||
