problem #1

Mariner Premier 4wd 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

The OD light blinks continuously, and transmission shifts poorly or late.

The passenger heated seat turns itself on if the engine is running when the passenger sits down.

The MPG/DTE features of the trip computer don't reset unless several gallons of gas are added.

The auto dimming rear view mirror randomly turns itself off.

The RDS system in the radio is awful (slow to update, doesn't update, is usually garbled), compared to any other car I have driven.

The MPG is poor. I don't think the 4WD ever turns off.
