2006 Mercury Mountaineer

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE RECENTLY WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. THE CAR KEEPS STALLING OR DYING AS YOU MAY SAY AS I DRIVE. IT WILL BE OKAY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN JUST DIE RIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY! ONCE IT DIES ONCE, THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS COOLED DOWN. I HAVE THE ENGINE CODES OF P2104, P2111 AND P2135 WITH A REFERE TO P2101. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND PAID WELL OVER $1,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT JUST CONTINUES. I AM AFRAID MY FAMILY MAY ALL DIE! WERE ON 93 RECENTLY HEADING TOWARD BOSTON AND MY CAR DIED RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF 495. I HAD ALL MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAVE FIXED THE FUEL SYSTEM (ERROR CODE LAST TIME), HAD A COMPLETE TUNE UP, AND THROTTLE SENSOR ETC.

MY 2006 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER WAS LEAKING COOLANT DUE TO A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE LEARNED THAT HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH MANY OF THIS VEHICLES OWNERS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR OWNERS, FORD ISSUED A TBS IN 2009 JUST IN TIME FOR MOST OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES' WARRANTIES TO EXPIRE. SOME OWNERS ARE ON THEIR 3RD OR MORE RADIATOR REPLACEMENT, I AM ONLY ON MY FIRST. I PETITION THAT FORD RECALLS THIS ISSUE BEFORE MYSELF AND OTHERS HAVE TO REPEATEDLY PAY FOR THIS CLEAR DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THEIR HARD OWNED MONEY. THIS PROBLEM ALSO POSES SAFETY RISK TO THE PASSENGERS OPERATING THESE VEHICLES AND TO ANY ANIMALS ATTRACTED TO THE SWEET SMELL OF THE COOLANT FROM AFFECTED VEHICLES WHOSE OWNERS WHO MAY NOT YET KNOW THIS ISSUE OR CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT.
