| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MARINER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNTIL SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. |
| 2005 | POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT | WE HAVE TAKEN OUR MARINAR BACK AT LEAST 2 TIMES COMPLAINING OF OUTRAGEOUS ROAD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN OR RIDDEN IN WITH THIS TYPE OF NOISE INCLUDING DIESEL TRUCKS. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THE TIRES BUT THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE (CONTINENTALS). I WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ROAD NOISE. FRIENDS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME CAN NOT BELIEVE THE DECIBEL LEVEL OF THE ROAD NOISE AND THAT IT IS UNBEARABLE. I HAVE A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY WHO ALSO HAS A MARINAR AND HE ALSO HAS TAKEN HIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS ROAD NOISE TO KNOW AVAIL. CAN YOU ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS SITUATION. *JB |
