general problems of the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer

The contact owns a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer. While driving 40 mph, the contact noticed that the vehicle began to sway back and forth in the rear. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop but the mechanic could not duplicate or diagnose the failure. The contact replaced all of the tires and brakes; however, the failure continued to occur. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The current mileage was approximately 102,000.

I have a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, and I turned the key and went to move from r to drive and the handle (gear shaft) just snapped off.

Had warped rotors within first 2,000 miles. Ford would only ground rotors but dealer replaced them at no charge. I have also experienced a loud, thumping noise when I am making a sharp turn to left or right at a very low speed. Also, often when putting car in reverse many times there is a large thump and vehicle appears to shift hard. Finally, when stopped on a steep hill, after removing foot from brake, vehicle rolls backwards many times.
