LAST FALL WE SMELLED GAS. WE TOOK THE CAR IN AND HAD THE OVERFLOW HOSE REPLACED. LATER, IN THE SPRING, THAT PART WAS RECALLED. AGAIN, THIS WEEK, WE SMELLED GAS. WE TOOK THE CAR AND HAD THE RECALL PART PUT IN. THE NEXT DAY WE STILL SMELLED GAS. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID IT WAS ANOTHER FUEL HOSE WHICH IS UNDER THE MANIFOLD. THAT IS TWO FUEL HOSE LEAKS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THAT IS SCARY. WHAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE $228 TO REPLACE IT? THIS IS A HUGE FIRE HAZARD. I AM BECOMING SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *AK

Sep 1, 1999

THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO START AFTER SITTING. I HAVE A NUMBER OF FRIENDS WITH SIMILIAR COMPLANTS WITH THE QUEST AND THE SISTER MERCURY VAN. ALL THE SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED BETWEEN 40 AND 70K MILES. THE PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK. IF THE GAS LEVEL DROPS TO LOW THEN THE PUMP BECOMES DAMAGED AS IT HEATS UP AND/OR SUCKS AIR. I THINK THIS IS DESIGN PROBLEM, AND AM WONDERING IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE PRODUCED THIS COMPLAINT. *AK
