| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2000 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | 2000 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER 2WD. CAUGHT FIRE IN A PARKING LOT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. SPARKS FELL FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. FIRE DEPT. RESPONDED TO FIRE. *JB |
| 2008 | SEATS | WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE DOME LIGHT WENT ON, THE DRIVER SEAT WENT FULLY BACK AND RECLINED A LITTLE, AND THE PEDALS MOVED. THIS ACTION WOULD BE CONSISTENT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE DRIVER WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD NOT BE A CONCERN FOR A TALLER DRIVER BUT FOR MY WIFE WHO IS CONSIDERABLY SHORTER COULD NOT TOUCH THE PEDALS WHICH COULD LEAD INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DAILY. *TR |
