| 1998 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IT CAUGHT ON FIRE ON ITS OWN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THEN, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONSUMER'S RESIDENCE. CONSUMER WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *AK |
| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | MY MOUNTAINEER STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE GOING ABOUT 35 MPH BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES CAN RESTART. IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 OR SO MONTHS. IN ADDITION TWICE IT WOULD NOT START (IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 30 MINUTES SINCE I DROVE IT) AND IT HAD TO BE JUMPED. I REPLACED THE BATTERY THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT PERSISTS. I BROUGHT IT TO A REGULAR GARAGE ONCE, WHO KEPT IT FOR A DAY AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO A MERCURY DEALER WHO KEPT IT FOR 2 DAYS BUT FOUND NO CODES OR PROBLEMS. IT JUST STALLED AGAIN TWO NIGHTS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WITHOUT AND RESTARTED A FEW MINUTES LATER. THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A DAY BUT AGAIN FOUND NO CODES OR PROBLEMS. SO FAR I JUST PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER. *TR |
