| 2010 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING UPON A ROADWAY IN OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, MY 2010 MERCURY MARINER SUDDENLY STOPPED TRAVELING AT SPEED, AND WENT INTO 'LIMP MODE'. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT. I CALLED MY WRECKER SERVICE AND THEY TOWED (FLATBED) MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. I PURCHASED THE 2010 MERCURY MARINER NEW FROM THE SAME DEALER. THEY EXAMINED IT AND DETERMINED THAT THE 'THROTTLE BODY' NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY DECLINED TO REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY, STATING THAT THE PART WAS NO LONGER COVERED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT A RECALL HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED. I PAID A TOTAL OF $409.27 FOR THE REPAIR. THE TOW BILL WAS COVERED UNDER MY MEMBERSHIP IN AAA. *TR |
| 2005 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY HEAD LIGHTS WENT OFF. I HAVE PAID 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I EVEN PAID AAMCO OVER 500.00 TO FIX THIS AND THEY ENDED UP GIVING ME MY MONEY BACK. AND NOW THE WHOLE LIGHTING SYSTEM POPS ON AND OFF INCLUDING BACK LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS. MY BACK WIND SHIELD WIPER NO LONGER WORKS AND MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON..I LIKE MY TRUCK BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WORK 21 MILES FROM MY HOME AND I WORK NIGHT SHIFT. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. I PRAY EVER NIGHT I CAN GET TO WORK SAFELY WITH OUT MY LIGHTS GOING OUT ON ME. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR RIGHT NOW. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR |
