2009 MERCURY MARINER Complaints

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. STARTED VEHICLE AND NO POWER STEERING. CALLED FORD WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED ON JULY 29, 2014 DUE TO RECALL BUT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. FORD REFUSES TO FIX, WAS TOLD WAS ALREADY FIXED AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WENT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT NOW HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER AND BARELY MADE IT HOME. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO RAMEY FORD IN PRINCETON, WV THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY BUT I HAD TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS CAR WAS PART OF A CUSTOMER SERVICE ARRANGEMENT WORKED OUT WITH NHTSA BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED FOR COST OF REPLACEMENT . THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITHOUT ANY CHARGE SINCE OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS CLASS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO OFFER TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY TOW SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY DISABLED. THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT FORD AND THE NHTSA WERE AWARE OF AND MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHERS. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR OR TOW TO CORRECT A DEFECT. *TR

MY TRUCK STALLS. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING.

2009 MERCURY MARINER HYBRID WITH 93000 MILES DRIVING 50 MPH ON A SIX-LANE BLVD. HESITATES BRIEFLY, THEN ACCELERATOR CEASES TO FUNCTION COMPLETELY. DESPITE THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WE MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. WARNING LIGHT (TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION POINT) AND WARNING MESSAGE "STOP SAFELY NOW". THE CAR COMPUTER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY DOESN'T FORD? THEY CONDUCTED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" FOR MILLIONS OF ESCAPE AND MARINER OWNERS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE - THROTTLE BODY DEFECT - BUT NOT HYBRIDS. WHY NOT? IT COST US $300 AND NEARLY A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS IN ALL CARS, NOT JUST SOME. PUTTING FAMILIES IN HARM'S WAY BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T HAVE THE INTEGRITY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLE ISSUES IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, AND FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE.

THE ABS SYSTEM TURN OFF, TOOK TO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FINE TROUBLE IT HAD RESET. TODAY SAME THING ABS TURN OFF. WILL TAKE IT IN IF IT DOES NOT RESET. BOTH TIMES THAT IT TURN OFF CAR WAS PARKED AND I WAS JUST STARTING IT TO LEAVE..*I WOULD SEE A WARNING THAT SAYS 'REGEN BRAKE FAILURE.' *THE ABS JUST WENT OUT ONE DAY WHILE COMING HOME FROM THE STORE, AND WOULD RESET WHEN THE CAR SAT FOR A WHILE. AND SYRE WAS NOT FUN TO DRIVE, BUT UNLESS IT STAYED OFF THERE WAS NOT MUCH THEY COULD DO AT FORD TO FINE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF AND THEN FORD FIXED IT, REPLACED THE ABS MODULE IT HAS BEEN O.K. SINCE THEN. I DID NOT LIKE THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR AT $1933.03. I DO NOT THINK A WOMEN WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP HER CAR IF THIS HAPPEN TO HER WHILE DRIVING YOU NEED TOO MUCH PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO STOP EVEN WHEN GOING SLOW, AND IF GOING THE SPEED POSTED TWO FEET MAYBE*SMCH
