Two problems related to side/rear glass have been reported for the 2011 Mercury Mariner. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2011 Mercury Mariner based on all problems reported for the 2011 Mariner.
The contact owns a 2011 Mercury Mariner. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked at a grocery store parking lot the rear door hatch window exploded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the glass. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 350.
After closing the rear door, the rear window exploded with extreme force, sending glass fragments to the far edges of the garage. There was nothing in the car to hit the window and the garage door was closed. Fortunately I was not standing behind the car or I may have been seriously injured. I find many occurrences of this for the Ford escape which I understand is the sister car to the Mariner. Even though Mercury will no longer be made, the escape will continue to be made. I believe the window design to be defective and needs to be investigated.
