2008 MERCURY MARINER Complaints

POWER BRAKE BOOSTER BRAKE SYSTEM LOCK ON HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING NO WARNING . ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT ON SNOW DUE TO BAD. TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON HIGHWAY. UNABLE TO START CAR IGNITION SWITCH.

I NEVER RECEIVED REIMBURSEMENT FOR PUTTING IN A TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS ON MY TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MERCURY MARINER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH MODULE WENT OUT AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BARBER FORD IN HOLLAND, MI (640 E 8TH). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

ABS WARNING LIGHT, REGEN BRAKE SYSTEM DISABLED WARNING LIGHT BRAKE SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY, HARD TO STOP VEHICLE

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING HAS NOT RETURNED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

MY POWER STEERING WAS REPROGRAMMED UNDER RECALL 14S05 BACK IN 2015. BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY ACTIVE CODES IN MY SYSTEM FORWARD REPROGRAMMED THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. MY VEHICLE NOW IS SHOWING TROUBLE CODE B2278. THE ORIGINAL CODE THAT TRIGGERED A RECALL. MY POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT I TORE A MUSCLE IN MY SIDE TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS WORKED AND CLOSED. HOWEVER I DECIDED TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN MICHIGAN TO SEE IF THEY COULD RE OPEN MY RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY A REPRESENTATIVE BY THE NAME OF MICKEY THAT IT WAS BASICALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY NOW AND NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL.

POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A TURN THE POWER STEERING DROPPED OUT COMPLETELY. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BUT DEALER SAID MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT COVERED. FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE IT IS EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED.

AFTER STOPPING AT RED LIGHT, MAKING LEFT TURN ON GREEN, HALF WAY THRU THE TURN STEERING QUIT WORKING FOR COUPLE SECONDS, THEN STARTED WORKING AGAIN, ALMOST STRIKING ANOTHER CAR, WHO WAS TURNING ALSO IN THE RIGHT LANE, VERY UNSAFE

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF A DRIVEWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER STEERING. I WAS 3/4 OF THE WAY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ALMOST IN THE DITCH, BUT I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND WITH EXTREME FORCE MANAGED TO TURN THE WHEEL. THANK GOD NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE APPROACHING, AS THIS IS A BLIND SPOT THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INFORMING ME THAT THIS WAS A POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT HAD TO BE BOUGHT TO FIX IT AND IT HAD INFORMATION THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SOMEWHERE AROUND 2014 OR 2015. I CONTACTED FORD MOTORS AND THEY SAID NO CARS WITH MY VIN # HAD BEEN RECALLED .

TAKATA RECALL. SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE LEFT TURNS, I HEAR A BEEP AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THE VEHIVLE WAS MOVING
