problem #2

Dec 152010

Mountaineer 8-cyl

  • 47,000 miles
2004 Mercury Mountaineer V8, 47,000 miles. Transmission is shot. It slipped in and out or reverse (creating a very dangerous situation since I could not control the vehicle when it was in reverse) and it struggled to shift gears in drive. No warning light before the problems began. The vehicle aged out of warranty in July 2010. Ford will not pay for anything (although the dealer is cutting me a break on the service costs).

Consumer noticed that while the dvd/ television set was engaged the rear mirrors became inoperative. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic informed consumer that the problem could not be fixed because it was designed that way.
