Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Mercury Mountaineer

I was driving my vehicle and a light came on that said check the charging system, the car's electrical system completely crashed and all the electrical power to the car died and it literally turned off while I was driving it in the middle of the street. Now even with a replaced battery and alternator it will only start with a jump and continues to say the charging system needs to be checked. This is extremely dangerous. What if I were driving on the highway and all of a sudden (with no reduction of speed) the vehicle just turned off and stopped. No electric meant no powersteering, no abs, no air bag sensors etc. . . Very dangerous. I have checked several blogs and sites and I am finding a number of people are having the same charging system issue. I would like to return the company to cover the cost of repairs for this vehicle.

Mountaineer started to make squeeling sound. I thought it was just the belt squeeling, so I took to local mechanic. Mechanic told me the bearing inside alternator was failing. Car was bought as is from citrus Ford, ontario, CA. There was 30 day warranty, but incident didn't occur until after 30 days was up. Power train warranty was only 3yr. 36,000 mile. The car has less than 56000 miles when alternator bearing went bad. This cost me $256 for the part to be replaced, plus labor.

The problem persisted and concern with stalled vehicle, serviced and problem still continue. These problems elevated to vehicle stalling, the alternator was replaced, there were continuous occurrences of the battery fail/check engine indicator light, vibration when braking, and the torque converter locked. The consumer requested a new lease and or early termination of the lease.
