general problems of the 2007 Mercury Mariner

The recall that Ford is recalls 2007mercury Mariner while driving vehicle just shuts off I was with my daughter driving on the highway lucky I was able to switch all 4 lanes the engine gets hot tempter gauge reading normal it stays in the middle turn vehicle ttb back on press pedal no power pump the pedal and hopes it stays on its been acting three months.

Takata recall I was on the express way in motion and the car shut down meaning that all of the gadges shut down. Then the car just coast until I could pull over without being hurt or hurting other drivers. Nothing showed up just shut down.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Mariner. After driving and parking the vehicle, the contact could not remove the key from the ignition. The contact had to turn the steering wheel and maneuver the key in order to get it to release. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times and was gradually getting worse. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,500.

The engine shut down while on the highway and a light appeared on the dash saying "stop safely now". I stopped, turned off the engine, and turned it back on. I took it to a an authorized Ford repair shop and they said they weren't sure what the problem was. I didn't have another problem for 9 months and then the same thing happened. Again no problem for about 2 months and then it happened again repeatedly. After pulling over and restarting the same problem would reoccur about every 15 miles. I made it to a Ford dealership. They are now replacing the coolant pump. I did some reading on-line and this appears to be a common problem with escape and Mariner hybrids. Shouldn't there be a recall of the faulty pump?.
