My power will stay on for long periods of time also I'm having an acceleration problem when I drive I have to wait for it to go to about 25 mi till 26 for it to pick up any speed it takes a very long time for it to pick up any speed in the 1st place.
When going 25-30 mph vehicle will not shift. It actually kicked the vehicle back. Od light started to flash then service engine soon light came on. Been doing this since. Went to go get Mountaineer read and of coarse. . The transmission. . Something needs to be done otherwise this might eventually lead to a lawsuit after reading all of the complaints on the exact same thing.
While driving to work one morning all I here was ding ding ding od/off started flashing . Sec later check transmission light came on now when I drive putting foot on the paddle to go it will idel up I release and it will shift n go. Aamco saying that I need a rebuilt tranny that's bs with all what I have been reading it's just a rip off I don't have $3500 to get this fix. Now seeing not once not twice so many complaints I read that people paid for 2 or more tranny for the vehicle's and nothing is been done about it. And the Ford deals knows about it. . . . . Do a human being has to lose their life before Ford dealer's can own up to there responsibility? if they was in our shoes they would want the same thing vice verse they say u reap what you sow. Please please please help up just fix our transmission that's all. . Another thing abs light stays on check engine light stays on the seat belt light stays on all my windows doesn't let down now wtf?.
Tl- the contact owns a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 mph suddenly all the instrumental panel lights including the "door ajar" light illuminated on and off then suddenly the vehicle stalled . Immediately after the failure the contact's dome lights did not disengage. The contact took her vehicle to an independent mechanic for a diagnostic test. The mechanic stated the failure was caused by an unknown electrical failure. The both dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 150,000. Az.
The car would have a warning display that a door was ajar and we would check all the doors and re-close them all and the warning would still appear. Then we would check the lift gate window on the back and re-close it and the display would go away, but the lift gate was closed the whole time before. It constantly does this and now the lift gate has a crack in it.
The transmission keeps slipping causing the car to stall and stutter in traffic had to have it rebuilt in 2008 costing $3600. 00, the differentials causing problems on front and rear with the car wheels spinning and sticking at times, the tires (all four) balling out from the inside out having to replace them every three to four months, the power locks, radio, interior lights all work when they want to like its a shortage.
