problem #1

Mountaineer V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

Had to replace all four wheel bearings in this vehicle amongst other issues. I had to replace a door close sensor in the passengers side, the plastic part on the lift glass cracked (twice), the transmission solenoid was replaced under warranty, six disc changer stopped working. This thing is a horror story. I'm on a military base with an auto skills center. When I changed the rear bearings, I noticed a bunch of old bearings in a box that were the same as mine.
