My 2003 Mercury Mountaineer has a crack right down the middle of the rear door, I thought it was just my Mountaineer but I see every Mountaineer of my make and model has that same crack,why is that, it has to be a defect from the factory because everybody with a Mountaineer of the same year make and model can't be related. So I would like to know why this crack has happened on these Mountaineer is there a safety problem because there definite a structure problem andits damage to my I am not happy about the crack its damage to my car I didn't cause and Mercury should fix it.
The paint on the rear lid of my 2003 Mountaineer is pealing. Dealer and two auto body repair shops have verified that the problem is a factory defect. Ford/Mercury refuses to correct the problem. They have referred me to their warranty information. The problem is a defect caused by them during the manufacturing of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact noticed a crack next to the emblem on the rear hatch door of the vehicle. The dealer speculated that cold weather conditions may have potentially caused the failure. The repair would cost $700 because the vehicle is over three years old. The vehicle has not been repaired and the manufacturer did not assist. The failure mileage was 85,000 and current mileage was 86,000. Updated 04-20-09 updated 04/24/09.
I also have a crack on my lift gate around the emblem and every Mercury I see on the road also has it. I also believe they should do a recall on this issue.
