general problems of the 2005 Mercury Mariner

I was driving on the freeway and my car just quit working. I took it to the mechanic and the issue is the coils and a now fried computer system.

I recently purchased a 2005 Mercury Mariner. Just after making my first payment, I was going down the interstate in it and it jerked like something had broken. It never lost power. Never had any gauges come on or anything. I drove it to the closest store and had it towed home and then to the Ford dealership in my town. They call me 2 days later and say I need a new motor $6500. That's more than the vehicle is worth. I ask how was that when no gauges came on. His response was "it's internal. Gauges won't come on. " neither the lot I bought it at, Ford, nor the finance company will help in the repairs. Judging by all of the complaints listed here, this should be a mandatory recall. Now I'm stuck with a lemon, no way to fix it or get out of it.

On August,2013 I went got my vehicle smoged . It passes good. Then the next day I see engine light air bag light. Then goes off when I stop. So I try take to a mechanic who I spend a good like almost 800 still light is on now bottom. Now the car dash board and the radio are so hot, it felt like something may cause a fire! I was very scared! I was near a Lincoln dealership who had a service center in duarte. Ca. I never knew. A pcm was a part of a tuneup! please this is a 2300! and I'm putting out another 1288!.

Anti theft dash light comes on solid for 2 or 3 seconds. Engine loses power. After 2 or 3 seconds, the anti theft light goes off and engine regains power. Has happened intermittently several times since first occurrence at various speeds and intervals.

Driving the car in cold weather the throttle would stick for the first couple of miles until the car was warmed up. This is a 4cyl. Auto trans. / same type of vehicle as Ford escape.
