Recall on a fuel filler neck valve for a 98 Mercury Mystique, gas being unable to flow freely into gas tank,spits gas back out on you. August is the first time I knew there was a recall. Ford says my VIN # wasn't on recall , but the part is defective anyway. ( dangerous ) occurs everytime you try and put gas into car. They put a canister vent valve on which was not the problem. They kept the old part that was good. Problem is fuel filler neck valve.

1999 Mercury Mystique, second owner, purchased is 2005. The gas line freezes when the temperature reaches below 20 degrees. The tank is half full, treated for winter weather and it still freezes. This is not normal: I've owned 2 other vehicles (Ford tempo/Dodge stratus) never happened. I've missed work due to this gas line freeze and am the only resident in my neighborhood that is having this problem. It has to be a manufacture defect or the gas tank is not protected. This is the second winter season this has happened.

I had a strap that had rusted underneath my car. A 1999 Mercury Mystique 2. 0, so I took it to the mechanic. He indicated that my gas tank strap rusted through and that the other one was about to fail as well. He told me that this is a definite hazard and could have proved to be dangerous if I did not take care of it. He also said that there should have been a recall regarding this problem.

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.

I am not able to pump gas without spillage occurring. The tank acts like its full even when empty and I have to continually depress the gas pump. I am able to only pump a few gallons before my hand gets to tired to continue. I have had mechanics look at this but they can't figure out what is wrong.

Gas tank would not allow gas to enter without backing it up, this happens especially during warm weather.
