What owners wrote
Ford motor co. Produced 2009 & 2010 mercury mariner vehicles' fuel system leaks gas when attempting to top off the gas tank. All ford vehicles produced over the past two years may be affected. Ford will not fix the problem and tells the customer to not top off the gas tank although nothing is included in the owner's manual about this nor are dealerships admitting any knowledge about the problem nor has ford sent any service bulletins to affected dealerships.
While in motion the car will stall causing me to pull off to the side of the road, turn the car off, then back on in order for it to work again. This happens every 10-15 miles and its really unsafe! I believe it is a defective throttle body and needs to be fixed asap before I can continue driving it.
