problem #1

Feb 212006

Mountaineer 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,000 miles
: the contact stated the front seatbelts would not retract. The dealership installed a modified repair kit and there have been no further problems. Also, the fuel gauge was not reading the correct amount of fuel. The dealership replaced the fuel gauge, but the low fuel warning light has become inoperable. Additionally, while the moon roof was being opened, it buckled. The dealership and manufacturer determined this was how the vehicle was manufactured.
