2007 MERCURY MARINER Complaints

I HAVE A 2007 MERCURY MARINER I PURCHASED IN APRIL 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES NOW. 3 OF THE 4 TIMES BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS "GONE OUT" ON THE VEHICLE I.E. THE GAS PEDAL, THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THE TENSION PULLEY. I ALSO FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THAT MANUFACTURER NEVER PUT THE BOLTS ON THE TOP OF MY ENGINE TO COVER THE SPARK PLUGS. I CONTINUE TO HAVE A PROBLEM. THESE LAST THREE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP GETTING NEW PARTS. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT USED. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS. EVERYTHING SO FAR IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IN 1,000 MILES I HAVE NO WARRANTY. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST IF SOMETHING ELSE "GOES OUT" ON MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR

THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON MY 2007 MERCURY MARINER HYBRID WITH LESS THAN 2,500 MILES. WHEN THERE IS A FRONT SEAT ADULT PASSENGER THE LIGHT ON THE DASH INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS TO STATE "PASS AIRBAG OFF". THE ONLY OTHER TIME THIS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED IS BRIEFLY DURING START UP. IT IS THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THIS LIGHT COMING ON AND GOING OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER THAT CAUSES ANXIETY FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN ADULT PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD-LINCOLN-MERCURY DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO FIX THIS SITUATION. SHE SUGGESTED THAT THE PASSENGER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S GAS PEDAL VIBRATES FREQUENTLY WHEN BEING ACCELERATED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THIS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 MERCURY MARINER.*AK
