| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE 2003 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER AND I HAVE HAD IT SINCE FEBRUARY 2007. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT AND THE LAST PROBLEMS WAS THE BREAKING POINT. I HAVE THREE MORE YEARS TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHCILE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND FIXING THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM COMMUNITY FORD IN NEW ALBANY, MS IN FEBRUARY 2007 WITH 45,000 MILES ON IT. I COULDN'T GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR ANY WARRANTY WITH THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD. AFTER A YEAR, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT END AND IT WAS $500.00 AT GEORGE'S TIRE SERVICES. I TOOK IT IN DUE TO THIS NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT AND I WAS ADVISED THAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE WORK DID IT WOULD LOCK UP ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THAT MY STRUCTURE BODY:HATCHBACK/TAILGATE HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY. MY SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE IN THE BACK DON'T WORK. MY ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM AIRCOMPRESSOR HAS WENT OUT AND I HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE MY OIL GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY SAYING IT'S LOW. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGE EVERY 3000 MILES. I AM HEARING THIS NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GET GOING TO FORD TO SEE WHAT IT IS. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING THIS BURNING COMING FROM THE UNDER THE HOOD AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS EITHER. MY LASTEST PROBLEM IS MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AND I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS AND I HAVE THREE MORE YEARS OF PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE. MY TRANSMISSION COST ME AROUND $3500 AND I DON'T HAVE ANY WARRANTY ON IT. THIS IS A LEMON I HAVE PURCHASED AND I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. *TR |
| 2007 | SEATS | IN REGARDS TO FITTING TWO BACKLESS BOOSTER SEATS IN THE MIDDLE ROW OF A 60-40 FOLD BENCH: ON THE PASSENGER SIDE- THE SEAT DOES NOT SLOPE ON THE SIDES AND THE BUCKLE HAS A CLOTH STRAP AND IT IS FLEXIBLE AND MOVES OUT OF THE SLOT TO FIT TO HIS BUCKLE. THE SEAT IS SLIGHTLY WIDER THAN THE DRIVERS SIDE. DRIVER'S SIDE- THE SEAT IS MORE CONTOURED AND THE BUCKLE IS AFFIXED TO THE SEAT AND DOES NOT MOVE OR COME UP BECAUSE OF THE 60-40 SPLIT. WHEN THE BOOSTER SEAT IS PLACED OUT OF THE EDGE OF THE CONTOUR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE- IT COMPLETELY COVERS THE BUCKLE. THEREFORE, ONE MUST SIT THE BOOSTER UNSAFELY AT AN ANGLE WHERE ONE SIDE IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER TO GET THE BUCKLE TO FIT IN. I AM CERTAIN IN THE EVENT I SLAM ON MY BRAKES OR GET REARENDED, ONE CHILD'S SEAT WOULD GO FLYING, WHEREAS THE OTHER SEAT FITS SAFE AND SECURE (PASSENGER SIDE). *TR |
