| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | COMING TO RED LIGHT ONE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PUSHED DOWN ON BRAKE PETAL AND IT WAS HARD TO PUSH DOWN. ENGINE REVVED UP TO OVER 5 RPM'S AND CAR WOULDN'T STOP FINALLY I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE POSITION. ALMOST REAR ENDED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK MARINER TO DEALER WHO WASN'T VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE HE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE & WANTED TO KNOW IF I WANTED TO LEAVE MARINER THERE. ALSO ASK IF I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PETAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY CONCERN SO THEY REPLACED CANISTER PURGE VALVE. HAVE ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MARINER THAT I BELIEVE STILL EXIST. FILLED OUT SURVEYS AND WAS TOLD MANAGER WOULD CALL BUT NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL DEALER. |
| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70-75 MPH AND HESITATION OCCURRED AND SPEED UNCONTROLLABLY DECREASED. I WENT TO RIGHT LANE (HAD BEEN IN MIDDLE LANE) AND STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE NEAREST EXIT LANE. LUCKILY IT WAS VERY CLOSE. I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING ALSO. THIS IS 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED, SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSM. FOR CLOSE TO $500. TECHNICIAN SAID I SHOULD BE HAPPY NOW, THE NEW PART HAD BEEN RE-DESIGNED. I'D BE ALOT HAPPIER IF FORD HAD TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY EARLIER WHEN THEY REALIZED IT NEEDED TO BE REDESIGNED. THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE I WAS IN LEFT LANE AT VERY BUSY TIME ON XPRESSWAY AND HAD TO PULL ONTO THE LEFT HAND SHOULDER....VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT. *TR |
