FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
AUTO HAS VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN PASSAGER COMPARTMENT ON WARM TO HOT DAYS(85+ DEGREES). THE GAS TANK ALSO HAS VERY HIGH EXESSIVE PRESSURE. COMPLAINED TO LANDMARK MERCURY DEALER IN LAKEWOOD, CO AND ALSO TO FORD'S CUSTOMER 800 NUMBER. THEY BOTH SAID THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS BUT IT WOULD COST OVER 300 DOLLARS TO ME. IF FORD KNOWS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM OF THE AUTO, I WOULD THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON HOT DAYS BECAUSE OF THE EXECSSIVE PRESSURE IN THE TANK!

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
VEHICLE DESIGN ALLOWS FOR THE PCM TO MAINTAIN THE SAME RPM AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE IN 3RD GEAR WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED, THIS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR DECELERATION WHEN FOOT IS OFF ACCELERATOR CAUSING WEAR OF BRAKING COMPONENTS AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES WHICH ARE UNPREDICTABLE.
