| 2002 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION, A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE TWO REAR COIL SPRINGS HAVE FRACTURED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. HE THEN ADDED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON FOR THIS MODEL TYPE. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT AN EXPENSE OF $600.00. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 80,000. UPDATED 10/26/09. *LJ UPDATED 10/26/09*JB |
| 2007 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | TRANSMISSION HARD DOWNSHIFT WHEN STOPPING OR IN SLOW TRAFFIC. VEHICLE SURGES ALMOST "LEAPS" FORWARD WHILE AT A STOP WHEN FOOT TAKEN OFF OF BRAKE PEDAL. ALMOST HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT. ANOTHER MOUNTAINEER OWNER REFERS TO IT AS A "BUMP STOP". THIS OCCURS DAILY ALTHOUGH NOT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STOPS OR SLOWS. THE IS VERY UNNERVING IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC AS YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND LEAVE A LARGE SPACE BETWEEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE OTHER VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO AAMCO AS OUR FORD DEALERSHIP IS DEPLORABLE, AAMCO COULD NOT DETECT ANY DEFECTS. VEHICLE HAS 19,000 MILES AND IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR |
