FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLING/CHARGING
I HAVE A 2003 MERCURY SABLE WAGON VIN [XXX]. IT'S SUPPOSE TO HAVE AN 18 GALLON GAS TANK. I CAN NEVER GET MORE THAN 13 GALLONS IN AND THE GAUGE NEVER SHOWS FULL. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR 4 DAYS BUT DID NOTHING. I CAN TRAVEL 220-230 MILES BEFORE HAVING TO REFILL. I FILL UP WHEN THE LOW TANK LIGHT COMES ON. THEY SAY THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE SITUATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS ON THE OPEN ROAD A GAS STATION MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE LEAVING A DRIVER STRANDED IN UNSAFE AREAS. I BROUGHT THIS TO THEIR ATTENTION WITHIN SEVERAL WEEKS OF PURCHASE WHICH WAS 7/30/03 AND A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE. THIS IS HAZARDOUS.*AK *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2003 MERCURY SABLE WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A TRUCK, I HEARD A THUMP AND THEN THE ENGINE WENT TO IDLE AND WE LOST ALL POWER. WE PULLED OVER AND FOUND THAT THE ACCELERATOR CABLE HAD SNAPPED. I FOUND A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC ON THE FLOOR THAT CAME FROM THE MECHANISM. WE WERE STRANDED 100 MILES FROM THE NEAREST CITY ON A SUNDAY NIGHT. I SUBSEQUENTLY ASKED THE RENTAL CAR MANAGER IF HE HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND HE SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO A TAURUS HE WAS DRIVING. THIS, AS I AM SURE YOU KNOW A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION - IF WE HAD BEEN ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS PROBLEMS. WE WERE LUCKY. IS THERE ANY RECORD OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING. JUDGING BY THE PLASTIC LINKAGE I BET IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *LA
