Own a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer. Since I've purchased it I've had issues with the airbag light staying on, the seatbelts not registered as being undone and the gas not registering (I fill it up and it says the last amount and will not say it's full until sometimes 2-3 days). I'm most concerned about the airbags and the seatbelts. I seen that earlier models and 2006 have issues with the airbag not deploying. The dearlership has replaced the sensor 3 times for the airbag and put in a new seat belt system about 15 mos. Ago. The dealership will not cover it again and says I need to pay for it. This has been an ongoing problem and from the web research, it's not problems that Mercury/Ford is unaware. These are safety issues.

My 2004 Mercury Mountaineer accelerated on it's own as I was pulling into a parking space. The vehicle made a roaring sound. My foot never left the brake pedal and I could not stop it. I jumped the curb, went over a grassy area, over the sidewalk and did not stop until I hit a concrete building at approximately 25-30 miles per hour. It caused significant damage to the building and to the car. Airbag did not deploy. I have had the body damage repaired and my auto insurance has paid over $3,000 for that. My husband took it to our nearest Ford dealer where they ran a diagnostic and it showed an electronic malfunction. They said the throttle body assembly needs replacing. The technician did not give us a print-out and said he couldn't find it when we checked back later. We contacted Ford motor company to see if they would pay for the replacement because our insurance would not. They also will not pay for it, but sent us to another Ford dealer to run a diagnostic on the airbags. After explaining my ordeal to the technician, he agreed to also check the throttle body. He said their diagnostic test shows no problems with the airbag or the throttle body! he also stated that the first dealer could have wiped it from the memory of the computer. After my husband spoke with a customer service rep at Ford motor company today, she said she would request that the dealer who ran the first diagnostic test send us a copy of the print-out that he couldn't find for us. The car is going back into the shop tomorrow at a local private mechanic (not a Ford dealer technician) and we will take it from there. As of today, nothing has been repaired other than the body damage.
