| 2010 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. CAR DID NOT STALL BUT HAD NO THROTTLE. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON BUSY ROUTE 46 IN NEW JERSEY. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO A WENDY'S PARKING LOT TO AVOID A COLLISION FROM THE REAR. EMERGENCY REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC. IDENTIFIED FAULT CODE AS P2112. CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS FORCED BY PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME DESPITE THE INCIDENT. VERY SCARY SINCE I TRAVELED ON NJ TURNPIKE BY NEWARK AIRPORT...ELEVATED HIGHWAY, 3 LANES, NO SHOULDER, 65MPH, 18 WHEELERS. IF CAR HAD STALLED THERE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!!!! I WANT MY GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTION TO FORCE FORD TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FORCE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY.. *TR |
| 2008 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | 2008 MERCURY MARINER WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT HAS TRANSMISSION LEAK CAUSED BY A FAULTY COOLING CONDENSER. I HAVE HEARD OF HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS SUCH AS THIS ONE IN THE MARINER AND THE SISTER CAR FORD ESCAPE. THIS REPAIR IS AROUND 800 DOLLARS AND APPARENTLY THERE IS NO SIGN OF A RECALL. I BELIEVE THE PART WAS MODIFIED IN THE 2009 MODELS BUT THIS DOES LITTLE FOR ME AND THOSE LIKE ME. NEW PART CAN EASILY BE DEFECTIVE DOWN THE ROAD AS WELL. NOT REPAIRED YET BUT IF DRIVEN CONTINUALLY CAN ME DANGEROUS TO CAR NOT TO MENTION PERSONS IN VEHICLE. *TR |
