| 2011 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MERCURY MARINER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AS THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,755. *TR |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE BUILDING SPEED VIA AN ON-RAMP ON CA FREEWAY 680, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL. WITHIN ROUGHLY 200 YARDS, THE CAR LOST POWER AND, THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO WORK AGAIN, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 50 YARDS. I THEN LET THE CAR 'REST' FOR ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES (WHILE I CONTACT MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COMPANY). AFTER THAT AMOUNT OF TIME, I TRIED THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT OFF-RAMP (INDUSTRIAL WAY, BENICIA, CA). AT THE STOP SIGN OF THAT OFF-RAMP, THE CAR FAILED AGAIN AND I CHOSE TO HAVE IT TOWED INSTEAD OF CONTINUE TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK PROPERLY. MY MARINER IS A 2006 WITH ONLY 77,541 MILES! MY CAR EVENTUALLY GOT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP TO BE FIXED, BUT IT WAS IN MY RESEARCH OF THE PROBLEM THAT I FOUND FAILING/FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE FOR MARINERS WITH LOW MILEAGE (MODEL YEARS OF 2005-2011, AT LEAST). MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED BECAUSE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR |
