The cap indicator light is on. After checking it several times I was informed by an auto technician that the neck of the fuel pipe needs to be replace.
The contact owns a 2000 Mercury Sable. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was a fuel odor present inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 154,000.
I drove my Mercury Sable 2000 today. Just seconds after I got off from a highway to a local road, my filled my car accelerated when I hit the brake. I had to hit the brake hard to stop the car in a traffic light. However, the engine rushed to 4000rpm. I switched to park gear and turned off the ignition. After a few seconds, I turned on the car again but the engine rushed to 4000rmp. Had no idea what happened. Wait for a minute and turned the car on again. Same problem exists. In the park position, I hit the gas pedal gently and the engine running back to normal. Then I was able to drive the car back home (~10miles). It was so scary and have no idea when this problem will come back again.
