2010 MERCURY MARINER Complaints

THE CAR JUST DIED ON THE MOTORWAY AND LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE PROBLEM IS AN INEFFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY ( CODE P2111 ). *TR

VEHICLE LOST POWER. TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON WOULD RESTORE POWER, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD THEN HAPPEN AGAIN. REPLACED MASS AIRFLOW INDICATOR, BUT PROBLEM CAME BACK IN A FEW DAYS. NOW THEY SAY I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A WEEK. I CAN NOT USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. *TR

THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 25,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE THE "FANS" WERE VERY LOUD AND THE CAR WAS JERKING WHEN I ACCELERATE. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. TWO DAYS AGO (EXACTLY 27 DAYS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED) THE CAR STALLED OUT TWICE. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE A BAD THROTTLE BODY.... THE CAR IS STILL NEW!!! THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE ONLY INDICATOR WAS THE WRENCH LIGHT THAT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME THE GAS PEDAL STOPPING FUNCTIONING. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY TO A SHOULDER WITH NO WAY TO ACCELERATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED COSTING $500.00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MARINER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SIX TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,400. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATOR SPEED DROPPED TO A CRAWL. PULLED OVER AND SAW THE WRENCH SYMBOL. GOT THE MANUAL OUT AND IT SAID THROTTLE BODY/POWERTRAIN ISSUE. WAITED AND RESTARTED ONLY 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND THAT SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT JUST GOING ABT 2 MPH IF THAT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! *TR

HAD TEST DONE AND WAS TOLD THROTTLE BODY IS BAD. CAN NOT GET PART IN BECAUSE ITS ON BACK ORDER. *TR

HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD THE DEALER LOOK INTO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION AND GEARS SLIPPING BACK IN 2012. THEY INDICATED THERE WAS A BULLETIN, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS ON A COMPUTER ISSUE, AND THAT THE TECH MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS. THAT SEEMED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE FOR A WHILE. IT HAD BEEN ACTING UP AGAIN, AND NOT QUITE THE SAME AS PREVIOUSLY, WITH MORE STALLING OUT AND NOT ACCELERATING AND THEN SUDDENLY JUMPING A LITTLE. ASKED DEALER TO LOOK INTO SITUATION AGAIN ON VISIT ON MAY 30TH. TECHS FOUND NOTHING WRONG. WAS DRIVING HOME ON INTERSTATE ON EVENING OF JUNE 7TH WHEN IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD LOST POWER. I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO A WIDE SHOULDER AREA. THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED OFF CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. IT STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT ABOUT 45-50 MPH UNTIL OFF INTERSTATE AND GOT IT TO DEALERSHIP WITH NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS AND LEFT IT. WAITING TO HEAR OUTCOME FROM THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCURY MARINER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 2 MPH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000. *TR

THE 2010 MERCURY MARINER SUDDENLY BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING, IT ALSO BEGAN JERKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE! THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN CAME ON. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED FOR. THE JIMMY GRANGER FORD DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR
