A system fluid flush is only temporary fix and wont last long. The short of it is you need the transmission rebuilt.

My 99 mercury cougar v6 is stuttter when i drive it will shut off while driving and the car acts like there is no gas in it pass a 1/4 of a tank what is this?

I had the same problem, but the problem didn't start until winter when it got below 0 degrees celcius. it would almost bronco jump and stall at stop lights, (almost rear ended a few people...not safe at all) and then when i'd start it up, i'd rev it and it would stall...but still starting again everytime.. it turned out that.this car is really good and developing condensation in the fuel line/tank...I went and bought a 2 dollar bottle of gas-line antifreeze (any gas station) put it in with the gas and filled 'er up with a tank of premium (cause it burns hotter) and the problem was solved almost instantly. (after about 20 minutes of driving) it saved me from having to get my entire pump replaced...try that out..if it is only since winter started(i dunno where u are) it could very well be your problem.

Turn signals and hazard light stop working inside and out of car,

Try this easy check. Press the hazard switch on and off about 20-30 times and see is it all starts working again. The contacs in the switch assembly get dirty and this will help clean them up from non use. Worth a try.
