Two problems. . . First whenever I shift into reverse there is a hesitation and it takes longer than it should to reverse. Im also experiencing a jerk before I come to a complete stop. Second . . The back of my lift has a crack from the bottom of the window to the Mercury symbol and then it continues down under the symbol. I've done some research and there re lots of others with these same issues. I only have about 70000 miles on it.
Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated the overhead console that controls the air conditioning, the dome lights in the rear of the vehicle, and the bracket had separated from the vehicle. The dealer nor manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 38,995 and the current mileage was 39,000. Vf.
My 2005 Mercury Mountaineer developed a crack in the rear lift gate right around the Mercury emblem. I have seen many more with the same problem, both Ford explorers and the Mercury Mountaineer. When I took it to the dealer they were like too bad so sad it is out of warranty even though I bought a extended warranty from Ford. I have been looking around now and I see lots of them with the same problem. I have heard that Ford is fixing the explorers if it is under 5 years and under 75,000 miles but that just seems to be a dealer thing, I have not seen any official account of this.
