| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I HAVE A 2008 MERCURY MARINER HYBRID. SOMETIMES WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES WITH MEDIUM PRESSURE THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE SO HARD IT RATTLES THE TRIM IN THE STORAGE AREA. IT IS AS THOUGH THE ABS IS OPERATING ONLY ON THAT WHEEL BUT MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED THAN WHEN THE ABS NORMALLY ACTUATES. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY AS TO WHEN OR WHERE THIS CONDITION OCCURS. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN FOR DAYS, THEN WILL OCCUR EVERY TIME I BRAKE FOR A TIME PERIOD (NO PARTICULAR LENGTH). *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | STOPPED AT GAS STATION TO FUEL VEHICLE. RETURNED TO VEHICLE AFTER FUELING. WHEN I STARTED MY MERCURY MARINER HYBRID, THE INFORMATION SCREEN SAID "SERVICE POWER STEERING". WHEN I STARTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I REALIZED I ONLY HAD MANUAL STEERING AVAILABLE. THIS CONTINUED ALL THE WAY HOME (5 MILES) ON ICY SNOW COVERED ROADS (FOLLOWING OUR NEAR BLIZZARD HEAR IN NORTH EASTERN INDIANA). NEXT MORNING, STARTED VEHICLE AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. MY EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, SO FAR, INDICATES THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS FOR THIS, WHAT APPEARS TO BE, WIDESPREAD, AND MIGHT I SAY POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS IS SERIOUS. HOW MANY DEATHS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED ON THIS ISSUE? AFTER READING ABOUT THE VAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM, I'VE STARTED LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. COME ON, SERIOUSLY, THIS IS ONE THAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION NOW! *TR |
