This will now be the 5th time we have replaced a ball bearing in this damn truck . . . The front driver twice the front passanger once and now this is the second time for the back driver! this is horrible! there has to be more of an issue then just that if it keeps happening! I will be contacting Mercury and I pray something gets done! this is not a cheap fix either! and when it happens it is like the tire is about to fall off it would if there weren't lug nuts on it! by far the worst SUV I have had! 1000s of dollars to fix it and it just keeps happening why and why hasn't there been a recall on this??.

Door dings and dents.

Rear glass tail gate hatch hinge - the hinge pin was comming out through the pot metal casting. Every time I opened it it wore a bit more. Hinge was twisted - glass hung down out of position. I was afraid it would fail on the road and injure a car behind me. I bought a new dealer hinge and installed it myself. Parts and service people at dealer negelected to tell me to disconnect the gas cylinders. With tailgate closed gas cylinders are not visable. I removed the bad hinge in preperation to install new. It was a wresling match as the cylinder was trying to force the glass out and down which twisted the other hinge. Now that other hinges pin is breaking through the pot metal. It took two of us to wrestle the cylinder and get the new hinge in place. To be safe I'm just not going to use the hatch.

2004 Mercury Mountaineer whole transmission is bad from reviews and blogs from alot of people recently read and read constant blogs about the same transmission problems that. Im having its for sure a deffect from Mercury im putting risk on my family with this vehicle consult it with a mechanic and said Mercury Mountaineer explorers and aviator all had transmission problems there needs to be something done about this I really dont have the money to purchase a new vehicle.

Transmission seems to be failing or transfer case its really a big problem because when I drive onto the express way a rattling noise gets louder as I accelerate I feel conserned about my safety and my children plus other drivers they should recall for vehicle inspection I am very upset and scared.

Had a leak in my radiator when the truck had less then 25,000 (summer of 2009?) miles logged on it. Took it to the dealership and they replaced it for free because it was under warranty. Again this spring, with my odometer at 52000 miles, it has another leak and I was quoted $800 to get it replaced because it is no longer under warranty. This is b. S. ! obviously it is a known problem. I have not had it fixed yet because I don't have the time to leave it at the dealership, or the $800 to replace a radiator that should not need to be replaced after such a short amount of use. This issue needs to be rectified by Ford! it has made me never want to buy another Ford vehicle, ever!.

Please investigate Ford Mercury faulty radiators. There is a design flaw and should be recalled.

I am on my 3rd radiator, there should be a recall on the radiators.

While on the freeway my car started to loose power. I would push on the gas and the car would not accelerate. Since the first time this has happened on numerous occasions. And have taken it to many mechanics which fnds out nothing is wrong of course. Finally I find out this is a throttle position sensor made by Ford. And there has been many Ford cars and parts experiencing this same thing. This is definitely a safety hazard so why has for not recalled this? do people have to start dying before they do something?.

Since I purchased in 2009, engine kills anytime, mostly when gas pedal not pressed. Pulling out of parking lots, sitting at red lights, or letting off gas on interstate, engine just kills. Sometimes feels like a jolt. I have to put the shift in neutral and restart the engine. Records of all visits for the problem at dealership. Never could solve problem, but too unsafe to donate to my grandson. If something were to happen to him because of a defect that was never found, I don't know what I'd do. Cannot check transmission fluid level. Sealed. I do have some fluid stains on my driveway. For years I've reported to the dealership and specified the concern for safety but to no avail. It kills anytime. May not die for a week, or tomorrow, or even a month. No particular pattern. Feels like a transmission problem. If I'm sitting in a parking lot with motor running, sometimes it just kills. It's the shifting to neutral while driving on highways and streets to restart while moving I'm worried about. I've had several mechanics claim they fixed it but to no avail. Please give me some direction. All the shops I've gone to are reputable businesses. One mechanic said the electronic brain (computer box) might be causing and said to send it to Mercury for recalculation. I don't know about that. Most of the read outs are epa related.

**************************engine will shutoff without warning********************** it has happened with various levels of gas, various weather conditions, and both while stopped and moving. The "check fuel filler inlet" light will come on. Sometimes, the check engine light will remain on, but will clear within the next startup or two. Car has been at dealers at least 4 times for issue. Engine throttle body and crankshaft sensors have been replaced. In the beginning, the vehicle would do this once or twice, then run perfectly for months at a time. Each time it is "fixed" by dealer, who claims they cannot replicate the problem. Lately it will stall 4-6 times within a 30 minute period. Last month, I was able to read code 2107. Today, it stalled again 6 times, no check engine light remains, no code to be read. When car is running normally, it sometimes hiccups and seems to run rough.

Purchased in June 2009 and have had problem after problem. Mountaineer premier awd. Transmission issue, feels like you're getting hit from behind when coming to a stop. Radiator leaks. Back lift gate randomly opens, won't latch. When it rains, water comes in through the interior light mount and through dvd player. Spark plugs not easily replaced, broke off and had to be towed to a shop for removal. Gas unable to be pumped properly I can put in . 25 at a time if I'm lucky. It takes 20 minutes to pump half a tank of gas. I love the features this vehicle has but this has been such a hassle.

Major safety concern: 2002 Mercury Mountaineer awd, purchased with around 79000 miles, in 2007. A few days after purchase started shifting really hard into 3rd gear, called dealer and he said to have transmission fluid changed, changed that cost 100. 00. Seemed to help some, now at 100,000 miles or so car will not go over 30mph. Driving vehicle in busy traffic and car only going up to 30 in a serious hazard. Ford needs to be held accountable for this. Too many 2002 are having exact same problem. Car jerks into reverse, o/d flashes, check transmission light comes on , hard jerks and shudders into 3rd gear. . . . Come on how many more people have to give up hard earned money to fix fords mistakes??? in process of trying to find a transmission shop to take this heap of junk to.

The caller said vehicle stalled without warning several times. She stated that it did start back up. She took the vehicle to the dealer three times. Dealer said they fixed it each time. She sent manufacturer a letter on the problem and other problems. Also, the caller stated that she had the ignition switch replaced, and now when she takes it out of park something pops. Dealer will not do anything else to help her with the ignition switch. The day time running lights did not stay on, the consumer heard wind noise coming from the vehicle, the cigarette lighter did not work, there was a popping noise when the consumer placed the vehicle into gear.

Consumer noticed that while the dvd/ television set was engaged the rear mirrors became inoperative. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic informed consumer that the problem could not be fixed because it was designed that way.

The check engine light on my 1998 Mercury Mountaineer has come on 10 times in the last 2 1/2 years. All times, except one, were due to the catalytic converter. The converter has been replaced, yet the problem continues. I've contacted Mercury every time, & get no satisfaction. The last time I was told "parts wear out. . . Deal with it. " my dispute isn't that something is wrong, it's wanting to know why it can't be fixed. No one can give me an answer.
