The Ford Explorer does not have a known issue with the gas filling system. In fact the car does not have any specific issues, but like all cars, it can develop a number of problems over time if it is not taken care of. Common issues include low fluids, burnt out fuses, worn tires, and old brake pads. All of these things are covered in the maintenance schedule that is found in the owner's manual and will be taken care of if you take the car in for regular tune-ups.Beyond these common maintenance issues, it is important to never ignore a check engine light. This light comes on for a number of reasons, but they are always to indicate that something is wrong, or needs looking at. If you do not know what the light is coming on for then you can take the car to a dealer.They will look at the trouble code using an OBD scanner, which will give you more info. As long as you do these things then there should not be any major issues that come in with the car, and what problems do arise can be found and fixed early.

Have had issue with 2020 explorer not letting me put gasoline in withoutGasoline into the intake. Dealership reprogrammed at once while it was gasoline into the intake. Dealership reprogrammed it once while it was under warranty. That helped for about three months. Once out of warranty they assured me that Ford had explained the way to fix the issue was to replace the valves inside of the downspout. Did that in January did not take care of the issue. Dealership after much discussion contacted someone within four division that informed him that there was another upgrade in the computer program to take care of the issue. Love the vehicle. Ford has.

Pump nozzles device might have an issue. Censor on the nozzle may have to be repaired. You may want to clean it first.
