| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The car hesitates, stalls, loses power, surges, etc. while accelerating onto the freeway, going up hills, turning onto a highway etc. we've been lucky that it has only happened when we had a shoulder to coast on to. we could have easily been rear-ended by other vehichles in traffic. this has happened several times : at first it only happened when the gas tank was less than 1/4 full, then at 1/2 tank, now 3/4 full. we try to keep the tank full. nhtsa has a recall id # 04v421000 for the 1999 and later mercury cougar that has the identical fuel delivery module as the 2000 ford contour (v-6). this recall should be expanded to include ford contour and mercury mystique v-6 models at the very least. nhtsa has also recalled the 2000 ford focus with similar fdm design defects and performance problems |
