Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Mercury Mountaineer

After disconnecting the battery for battery replacement original equipment 6 cd in dash player only shows cd error. No error number. When investigating on the internet I found over 100 complaints with the same issue. I tried all the corrections suggested but nothing works. I own the car since new has very low mileage. I have 6 diskettes in the unit I cannot eject under any circumstance.

My graphich display (clock/radio stations, mode) stopped working on my radio. The auto shop has replaced the radio twice with the same results. All cabling and fuses were checked and certified okay. All other components are working except for the display. Help!!!!.

Cd player does not work and graphical display not working. Had identical problem in sept/oct 2002. Under extended warranty. Paid $100 for new radio. Happened again Dec 2003 - same thing cd stopped working and graphical display not working. Replaced - sept/oct 2002. Now same problem with new one.

The display screen on the stereo system no longer works. At times it comes on for a few minutes and then goes out again. This makes it impossible to know what station it is on, the time, adjusting the settings on the speakers, etc. I have talked to others that have this same problem.

The day after taking vehicle from dealer radio lcd screen flashed bright like a photo bulb and has been out ever since, there was a small amount of smoke.

Stereo system console light keeps going out . . . It has been out for a long time. . Now it comes on when it wants to. And its on for about 3 minutes and goes out again and stays out a whole day and comes on the next day for about 3 minutes. My neighbor has the same vehicle and has had the same problem.

To this date the following problems are present: gas gauge sticks, air bag warning light comes on and off, driver's side door rattles and knocks, driver's side window taps, driver's side window grinds while moving up and down, clock and radio do not light up or work when start vehicle, sun roof rattles and knocks, wind gets caught between roof and headliner which creates a loud vibration, the passenger side window also rattles and knocks, there is a loud rhythmic chirp toward rear of vehicle, heating and cooling controls squeal when turning on or switching vent settings, driver's seat feels rough when moving on seat track, the 3rd steering wheel still has defect under the leather which protrudes, driver's side leather seat was damaged after being at the dealership, 2nd row middle seat is almost impossible to lock in folded position, front windshield wiper control does not stay within setting, the vehicle vibrates and the steering wheel shakes when turning the wheel at a slow speed, the third row cup holder on the driver's side does not stay down in the fitting, there is a strong exhaust smell in the cabin when engine is in hard acceleration, engine starts to stall while driving. Steering wheel was defective by being malformed causing the airbag to be ineffective. The second steering wheel was also ill fitted causing sharp protruding parts on the steering wheel. The dealership has had to repair or replace the following: body work to defective paint on roof, front hood, and driver's side fender. The dealership damaged paint in two areas and only provided touch up paint. Replaced noisy rear windshield wiper motor, rear hatch glass because defrost would not work, rear hatch hinges, driver's side seat track. Suspension problems with vibration and pitching. Vehicle lurches forward upon acceleration.

Consumer stated smoke emitted from the steering column while driving. Mr the radio was replaced.

Cd radio display has gone out, first began to fade in and out and now I have no display. Many people have experienced this problem. There are forums on the internet that specifically discuss this issue. It has also occured with many explorers as well. How can Ford/Mercury not recall an obviously widespread flaw? this really makes me doubt their customer service efforts.

Problems with radio, paint and rear windshield wiper. There was a loud grinding noise coming from the front of the vehicle as well as the engine area, when the noise stopped, a cloud of black emitted from the vehicle. The dealer stated it was normal, because the all wheel drive had activated for the first time. The weather stripping around the windshield was replaced and there was a problem with the power train.

High voltage-discharge (radio), the dealership has not corrected problem.

Noticed cd & cassette gets very hot after 15/20 minutes of play. Heat build up on cd & cassette is unusal as I know. When I reported to dealer service manager, he said "never heard". Latter they agreed. First time they did not find anything wrong. Second time they replaced the unit. Still it is hot. They informed me according to Ford this heat build up is normal. I disagree heat build up will damage the tape & may effect the the cd's. Heat is enemy for audo equipment. This kind of heat is very unusal, as I know. I have the opportunity to drive different manufacurers car, truck etc, but nowhere I see this heat build up.

The radio display led read out will go black intermittantly, the dealer replaced the main circuit board due to a bad design. The way it was designed they had it too close to the back side of the display where the capacitors would give off heat and cause over heating and black outs. Nlm.
