There are thousands of complaints about these components of Mercury Mountaineer and Ford explorer yet NHTSA does nothing. Ford will not fix these problems and has been doing band aid fixes under warranty. They deny there is a problem yet there are thousands of complaints on the various web sites. It makes me believe NHTSA is in bed with the auto manufacturers and really don't care about the public. Wheels fall off cars cause hub bearings fail yet there is no recall. . Ford puts the wrong transmission fluid in cars, transmission fails. . . There is no recall. Rear axle seal fails and no recalls why!!!.
