2006 Mercury Mountaineer

PURCHASED IN JUNE 2009 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM. MOUNTAINEER PREMIER AWD. TRANSMISSION ISSUE, FEELS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN COMING TO A STOP. RADIATOR LEAKS. BACK LIFT GATE RANDOMLY OPENS, WON'T LATCH. WHEN IT RAINS, WATER COMES IN THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHT MOUNT AND THROUGH DVD PLAYER. SPARK PLUGS NOT EASILY REPLACED, BROKE OFF AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP FOR REMOVAL. GAS UNABLE TO BE PUMPED PROPERLY I CAN PUT IN .25 AT A TIME IF I'M LUCKY. IT TAKES 20 MINUTES TO PUMP HALF A TANK OF GAS. I LOVE THE FEATURES THIS VEHICLE HAS BUT THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A HASSLE. *TR

TRUCK COOLING SYSTEM DIED WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, SMOKE PORING OUT, STATE TROOPERS HAD TO ASSIST US. MY DAUGHTER WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND NOW REFUSES TO GET BACK IN THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH WE GOT A NEW ENGINE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WE SPENT 3000 ON AND ENGINE...500 ON COOLING SYSTEM AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED. THE TRUCK IS STILL HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS AND NOW FOR SAYS IT NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT OR REPLACED. ALL OF THIS IS OUT OF POCKET. WE CANT EVEN TRADE IT IN BC THEY WILL ONLY GIVE US 1/2 OF WHAT WE PAID FOR IT 2 YRS AGO. NIGHTMARE AND MAKES ME SICK THAT FORD DOESN'T CARE. *TR
