THE SPEED CONTROL OF MY 2000 MERCURY MOUNTINEER, STICKS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO EXCERLERATE OUT OF CONTROL THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLIP THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND IS GETTING MORE FRQUENT. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER (SELLERS SEXTON WAYNESVILLE, MO) THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND THEY CANT FIND A PROBLEM.*AK

THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL 03504 RELATED TO REPAIRS OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BOLT. THE DEALER PROMISED TO HAVE VEHICLE FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT DEALER FOR ONE WEEK. *AK *NLM

THE DISPLAY SCREEN ON THE STEREO SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS. AT TIMES IT COMES ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT STATION IT IS ON, THE TIME, ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS ON THE SPEAKERS, ETC. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *LA

THROTTLE BODY WAS COVERED WITH CARBON THAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK WHILE DRIVING.*AK THIS CONDITION ALSO CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SURGE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN ADDITIONAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO RELEASE THE STUCK PEDAL. CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY SEEMED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TS *NLM

STEREO SYSTEM CONSOLE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT ... IT HAS BEEN OUT FOR A LONG TIME.. NOW IT COMES ON WHEN IT WANTS TO.

WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD AT 15 MPH, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A BOLT IN THE STEERING SHAFT COMING LOOSE AND FALLING OFF. *AK

WE WERE REAR ENDED AND BOTH SEATS BROKE, FLINGING US INTO THE BACK SEAT. WE THEN WENT INTO THE ONCOMING LANE (BECAUSE MY WIFE COULD NO LONGER REACH THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE BRAKES) AND WERE HIT HEAD ON. COMPLAINT #1 - THE SEATS SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN. COMPLAINT #2 - THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.*AK

THE DAY AFTER TAKING VEHICLE FROM DEALER RADIO LCD SCREEN FLASHED BRIGHT LIKE A PHOTO BULB AND HAS BEEN OUT EVER SINCE, THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SMOKE.*AK
