2 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2003 Mercury Mountaineer

Failure Date: 06/26/2009

2003 Mercury Mountaineer 4. 6l-when the vehicle is not under acceleration [stop sign/signal, exiting an expressway to a surface street, coasting] the engine will not hold idle, then stall. The steering & brakes are compromised when the engine stalls. To restart the engine, the headlights go dark for a moment. . . This is a very serious matter. Decelerating from an expressway to a surface street, on a curved exit ramp , at night makes for an out of control situation where the driver can not see because of engine failure! I've replaced the throttle position censor [tps] with no improvement. The dealer offers replacement of parts $1500, and no guarantee of solving the problem. The vehicle is useless to me fore it is a hazard to be on the road. . . For me and anyone else driving near me.

6 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2000 Mercury Mountaineer

Failure Date: 07/10/2002

The car wouldn't start so I had it towed to the dealership. The technician tried it and it started right up for him. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. I'm not sure if I have it right but I was told the reason it didn't start was I had the wrong type of fuel, winter verses summer. The temperature dropped after thunder storms during the night. There's been quite a few times when the car didn't start up on the first turn of the key but I didn't think anything of it. There was another time when it didn't want to start but eventually did. It was a rainy, snowy night. This last time when it didn't start it had rained also. I'm wondering if it has more to do with the rain and not the fuel.
