2000 Mercury Mystique Fuel system Problems

“On the 476 near philadelphia, my 2000 Mercury Mystique chugged and continued to lose power as we carefully pulled over to the side of the rode. There was almost 1/2 tank of gas at the time. After about 2 minutes we started the engine back up and continued on with our trip. Fifty miles done the rode, it happened again. After two minutes we restarted the car and were able to drive to our destination without incident. I must add that this incident happened two times before (when the car was fairly new and under warrenty) when the gas was at 1/4 and 1/8 of a tank respectively. …”

“Fuel pump failure in a 2000 Mercury Mystique , causing loss of power to engine & loss of power steering & brakes . I almost hit a light pole tring to get the car pulled over. The auto only has 2664 miles on it. If wife would have been driving , doubtful she wouldnt have been able to keep control of car , ford knows they have a problem with fuel pumps , when are they going to responsable for their actions.”

“Transmission rebuilt at 45,000 miles by dealer when we got it back it died at a 1/4 of a tank of gas, so we can never let it go below even a half a tank now. Over drive light flashes on and off periodically then goes off. At 69,000 miles car is now cutting out like it did when it first had transmission problems.”

“Fuel indicator showed 1/4 tank of gas in tank. Engine cut off because tank was empty. Filled with gas and car started. Two weeks later gas indicator show a little more than 1/4 tank of gas and engine cut off. Filled with gas and car started. I now fill the gas tank when the odometer gets to 170 miles. I can't trust the fuel indicator anymore.”

“Starting in june 2000, when A/C was turned on, an obnoxious musty odor was present, then on 12-09-00 with heater turned on and driving 60 MPH to work, became very ill and disoriented, later taken by ems, on 3-27-01, when leaving for work and turning out of drivie way, car stalled in middle of street and wouldn't start. Took to dealer fuel pump was replaced, dash was warpped and had to be replace because adhesive was coming off back of dash, fumes or odors from any of these components may have caused me to become totally disoriented which caused me to hit a concrete barrier while driving.”
