The truck bearing keep going out the spark plugs overloaded and I can’t accelerate at times when I’m driving it slows down then starts back up.

The transmission won't shift into 3rd and 4th gear, hitting hard into gears at starting, slipping begins after 35 mph. . Replaced torque converter.

I was driving on the expressway and my truck just shut off. The car panel illuminati to a check engine light and a wrench. I had to put on my caution light and make it to the shoulder. That was scary. I sat for 10 minutes before it started back up. I've taken it to the dealership and all they did was guess what the problem could be. They said it might be the fuel pump or something electric or the computer. That's not doing me any good, because I'm still having this problem.

Started losing power ,did not want to go pas 30 miles per hr ,then it ramed up and came to a stop with no acceleration ,I shut it off then start it again and was able to get home at a low rate of speed while continuing to have these problems, another day while far away from home the engine rammed up again minimizing my speed as the transmission was slipping and not go fast then my o/d over drive went on flashing a light ,while the engine kept steady at 20-30 miles per hour while accelerating increasing no speed ,now my SUV will not run wright, it will kick into gear at times constantly and cause problems driving safely ,this is a common problem I'm hearing and reading in the internet with the Ford/ Mercury Mountaineer the manufactory does not want to accept responsibility with this problem . . . . . This is clear a recall issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets killed on the highway by getting rammed by a semi-truck which it almost happened to me !!!! a multi-million dollar law suit is in order if they do not acknowledge and fix this problem.

Body : to much rust, corrosion, on rear of truck other failure or detachment of exterior body like rear gate frame components, and other structural components that may present a safety hazard. Electrical : electrical systems and items such asa wiring and cable on or inside the door, ignition switch cover detach ,instrument panel and gauges blinking that causes motors and actuators that power mechanical devices like (windows, sunroofs, seats, etc. ) generate some kind of electrical problem that may present a safety hazard.

Had to replace transmission completely at 137,000 miles. There's been a lot of complaints about these transmissions at this mileage and Ford should be responsible for some of the cost. This is ridiculous.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated that after shifting the transmission from park(p) to reverse(r), the vehicle failed to respond. The contact removed and reinserted the fob key in the ignition to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that an unknown transmission part needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The mechanic instructed the contact to pull the park release lever each time to shift the vehicle out of park (p). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

I have spent thousands of dollars on the transmission repair and no matter what I do there always a problem shifting gears.

The gear shaft will stop my car from starting when I turn it off. It will also make my car vut off while driving. . The button on the gear stick will get stuck and I am able to shift gears. . . When the car is not started and my foot is not on the breaks. Even when the button is not stuck, it still will get stuck in park and wont let me start my car. . A recall should be started. . Because I have seen others on here with similar complaints. . So its a manufacturing accident not the consumer.

Takata recall while my vehicle is in motion, & when I stop at a stop light, it's suddenly shuts off. This has happened several times while on the highway at highway speeds, & on city streets at normal speeds. It has proven dangerous several times. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the vehicle jerks very hard. Also when I drive for more than 6 to 7 miles at highway speeds, a tire pressure sensor comes on.

I had to replace the transmission and some other related parts in my vehicle and I was informed by a dealership that there was a "silent recall" on this transmission and that even though Ford motor company was aware of the issues as early as 2000 they continue to install them in vehicles. If you look online you will see quite a number of complaints on this transmission. I feel since Ford knowingly kept using these transmissions and was well aware of their possible failure when they reached 130,000 miles that they should be responsible for at least a portion of he costs if indeed, not all of the cost of replacement. What happens when a car company puts out a silent recall? do I have any rights? I have already sent a certified letter to Ford motor customer relations in dearborn, mi and I have a signed receipt that they accepted my letter but they have not bothered to contact me at all. What are my options and is this something you can help me with? the first time this transmission caused a problem was when we were in 5 pm traffic on a road with a speed limit of 55 miles an hour and the car just stopped leaving my family in the middle of a busy two lane road which was very dangerous. We were finally able to get the vehicle to the shoulder. I can forward my bills and copies of online conversations regarding the failure of these transmissions.

While driving my seat will randomly move back and forth as if I took the keys out. Thought something was wrong with my transmission but after having the garage put transmission fluid in it still feels like the transmission is messed up even though the garage says the transmission is fine.

I purchased a used vehicle from redefined auto sales located in skokie, IL on 3/11/17. Since then I have spent over $1500. 00 in cost for repairs on this vehicle, beginning with I had to get the oil changed the same day that I bought the vehicle because the change oil required light came on as soon as I exited the expressway, I almost got into a serious accident on the expressway in route from the car dealership because a motorist tried to cut me off and that is when I discovered that the horn was not working. The next day the power door locks stopped working and things just has went down hill since then, the vehicle is in the shop right now as I'm typing this, I have not driven the vehicle anywhere other than back and forth to repair shops. I filed a complaint with the bbb but nothing was done about the complaint because the business responded saying the vehicle was used and I rejected the response and then received an email from the bbb saying that the case was closed. This vehicle was a lemon with a lot of issues and none of those issues were disclosed to me when I purchased the vehicle.

When going 25-30 mph vehicle will not shift. It actually kicked the vehicle back. Od light started to flash then service engine soon light came on. Been doing this since. Went to go get Mountaineer read and of coarse. . The transmission. . Something needs to be done otherwise this might eventually lead to a lawsuit after reading all of the complaints on the exact same thing.

While driving 50 mph vehicle stalled three times. Took it to a garage, was told it was necessary to have the vehicle when it stalled. Found eleven (11) similar complaints on your site! perhaps there is some validity to the complaints. All parts of the vehicle related to safe driving were rendered useless. Sounds like a safety issue to me!.

While driving to work one morning all I here was ding ding ding od/off started flashing . Sec later check transmission light came on now when I drive putting foot on the paddle to go it will idel up I release and it will shift n go. Aamco saying that I need a rebuilt tranny that's bs with all what I have been reading it's just a rip off I don't have $3500 to get this fix. Now seeing not once not twice so many complaints I read that people paid for 2 or more tranny for the vehicle's and nothing is been done about it. And the Ford deals knows about it. . . . . Do a human being has to lose their life before Ford dealer's can own up to there responsibility? if they was in our shoes they would want the same thing vice verse they say u reap what you sow.

Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to shift into gear when the vehicle was off. The contact stated that the key was not in the ignition at the time of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Djr.

While driving the "od" light started flashing and the vehicle would not shift from 2nd to third gear. It would just rev up. If you let off the gas it would usually shift into 3rd gear. I was going to try to check the fluid but couldn't find the dipstick. I checked the manual and found out there is none. When I checked online for help I found all the other complaints that were exactly like mine. It is very disappointing that Ford will not issue a recall on this obviously poorly designed transmission. This is a very expensive part for an owner to replace and is a safety issue as you could lose the ability to accelerate at a critical moment. With as many complaints as I am seeing online there should definitely be a recall. I hope it doesn't take somebody getting hurt or killed for action to be taken.

My vehicle's warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles. Since this week I have heard a metal scratch noise from the vehicle during driving on the road. I brought my vehicle to Ford dealership shop, it is found that rear axle seal has been damaged with oil leakage. Unfortunate, the repair is not covered by warranty because it has been 5 year, although the mileage is only 43500 miles.

First off when I bought the vehicle the rear wiper does not work. Secondly when you put the vehicle in reverse it jolts before going into reverse. Finally it only let's you put so mich of fuel into the gas tank at a time before stopping the fuel flow into the gas tank.

I have gone through 3 radiators so far and now I need a 4th. This time, the radiator caused the pumps to start leaking ( which are not serviceable) and eventually ruined my transmission, rendering the truck non-drivable. This problem has cost me thousands of dollar and I want a recall to start on this part with Ford.

2007 Mercury Mountaineer. Consumer writes in regards to acceleration and console lighting issues and problems with back windshield wipers.

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.

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.

I got into my Mountaineer and notice a familiar rumble. My wheel bearins went bad again! I will be replacing these for the 4th time now. This is on top of having to have the transmission rebuilt to the tune of $3700. I love to drive this car but it constantly needs repairs and the repairs need repairs. I can not afford a new car but I can't keep fixing this one!!! I have also had to replace the intake manifold only to find out Ford had a fly by night law suit and never notified people to have there intakes checked so that was another $300 just for the part. I think Ford should help us out that helped them out.

I pulled into a parking lot and had the engine running while it was still in drive. I had my foot on the brake pedal and was looking through the center console to find my phone. After finding my phone, I shut the vehicle off and pulled the key out of the ignition. I returned to the vehicle roughly 45 minutes later to find that I had left the vehicle in drive and it had allowed me to shut the engine off and remove the key from the ignition while it was still in drive. Luckily, the parking lot was level and the vehicle did not roll away. Ever since that day, the vehicle will allow me to remove the key from the ignition, regardless of what position the shift lever is, as long as the engine is turned off.

The contact owns a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated that the shifter would not shift into park due to a defective shift cable. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic where the mechanic advised that the shifter cable needed to be replaced. The contact did not have the shifter cable replaced. The failure mileage was 140,000.

I was parking the car when the gear shift stick broke and ended in my hand the whole part.

The contact owns a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, he heard a beeping sound. A warning light illuminated on the instrument panel to pull over for safety. He was able to stop and reset the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The dealer stated that they needed to repair the power train axle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and the current mileage was 117,000.

I, as so many others, have a failing transmission in my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer. From 2nd to 3rd gear it refuses to shift properly and when it does it is extremely hard. Others have experienced this condition while the vehicle was still under warranty and it is my belief that Ford realizes that the transmission is defective but refuses to do a recall. I was almost rear ended because the vehicle lost its forward momentum between the shifts. I feel as if this is a dangerous situation and it should be addressed.

Transmission , I read this is a comon problem with this year and model.
