problem #1

Nov 082014

Mariner Premier V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 118,101 miles

Vehicle had power steering go out in March 2014. After having it fixed, I noticed I had to turn my key twice to start the car. I first replaced the fuel relay and since the problem was intermittent at first, I thought it resolved the issue. This problem continued and occurred more frequently until I finally got a diagnostic for it in October 2014 and then had it fixed in November 2014. $100 for the diagnostic and over $700 for the repair.

I bought this car in 2010 and have since had the transmission replaced (covered under warranty), power steering failing (paid for out of pocket but reimbursed once recall went into effect), and now this. Car is also rusting.
