2001 Ford Expedition tires problems

“MY CHEVY IMPALA FEW MONTHS I FILLED UP WITH GAS ALL THE WAY AND WHEN I GO T ON THE INTERSTATE THE FUEL GAUGE WENT DOWN FROM FULL TO HALF FULL OF GAS . THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE NO MECHANIC KNOWS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR. IT CAN TURN TO EMPTY TANK IN 20 MILES OF DISTANCE . WHEN I ADD UP MORE GAS TO IT TURNS BACK TO FULL. I NEED A SOLUTION. I HAVE A SMALL CHILDREN AND ONE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL FROM HOME TO WORK. *TR ..TIRE COMPLAINT ON 2001 FORD EXPEDITON..*BF....UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF SPARE TIRE FELL DOWN UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING.UPDATED 07/17/17 *BF UPDATED 07/19/2017*JS”
