The contact's fiancée owns a 2009 Mercury Mariner. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V284000 (Steering); however, a month after the recall repair, the vehicle lost power steering functionality while driving at an undisclosed speed. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a fee would be charged for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer later informed that the software for the power steering control module (PSCM) was previously updated under the recall; however, the manufacturer informed the contact that there was no record of the recall repair in the vehicle repair history. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My 2009 Mercury Mariner’s steering wheel started locking up 3 months ago, making it impossible to drive. I looked up the make and model to see if there was a safety recall on it, and there was, but my VIN wasn’t included in the recall campaign, even though it fits the criteria exactly. ///////////Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured August 18, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist.////

On May 10, 2024, as I was rounding a sharp curve, I applied brakes to slow down, but there were no brakes. In fact the brake pedal went to the floor. I had to use emergency brake to stop and gain my wits. I turned around and slowly drove home (about 0.5 miles) and used e-brake to stop and park in front of house. On May 21 I had vehicle towed to dealer. They found that the brake pedal was still against floorboard, but when they started vehicle, it came back up to normal position and was working fine. They could not duplicate the loss of brakes. My vehicle was manufactured within the date range of a TSB regarding hydraulic control unit and DOT3 brake fluid corrosion, but dealer says VIN not applicable to TSB. I am thinking of paying for new HCU anyway, just for my family's protection. I would like my VIN to be included in TSB repair.

The steering wheel does not return to center when making turns. It is more pronounced during left turns. This is a dangerous condition that could result in the vehicle going left or right of center and striking pedestrians, bicyclists, oncoming traffic, fixed objects. An independent service center confirmed that the issue was a bad torque sensor and bad motor in the steering column. I have schedule a police inspection for 5/23/2024. Issue first appeared this year. No warnings.

The contact owns a 2008 Mercury Mariner. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became loose while steering in either direction. As the failure persisted, the steering wheel had become stiff and the "Power Steering Assist" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with power steering assist failure. The mechanic was unable to obtain the part needed to repair the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V284000 (Steering) which was linked to the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My husband had purchased 4 brand new COOPER TIRES EVOLUTION H/T M+S size P235 / 65 R 18 a number of years ago. My husband has since passed away. I cannot find my sales receipt due to the fact my husband had paid for the tires in question. I do not know what he did with the sales receipt. I have a few good-faith efforts and attempts to bring this matter to COOPER TIRES but each and every time I got the same reply from them "NO we cannot help you. We will not be able to warranty your tires for you......we need a sales receipt......" I had my good friend take my vehicle to a local tire dealer and installer recommended by COOPER TIRES and this tire dealer found that: (1) all 4 COOPER TIRES on my vehicle look and are brand new (2) tire tread depth on all 4 COOPER TIRES on my vehicle are 8/32 " (3) three COOPER TIRES on my vehicle show a DOT date code of 2017 and one COOPER TIRE on my car shows a DOT date code of 3817 (4) all four COOPER TIRES on my vehicle have numerous cracks on the sidewall of the tires which is a manufacture defective and COOPER TIRES should replace all 4 tires on my car (5) the right-rear COOPER tire on my vehicle is leaking air from the sidewall due to the cracks. (6) COOPER TIRES should under the law include my tires under their national recall list because the COOPER TIRES on my vehicle have the same (1) make and model tire (2) the exact same size tire (3) all 4 COOPER TIRES on vehicle were made in the same factory as the rest of the recall tires (4) three of the COOPER TIRES on my vehicle have an issue with the date code (see recall NHTSA Campaign Number: 21T014000 for more info). I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. Also, I will hold COOPER TIRES legally liable if I get into a car accident due to its manufacture defective COOPER tires. The exact dates my good friend has contacted COOPER TIRES are: (1) May 01, 2024 (four times); (2) May 02, 2024 (three times). I asked for a call back but nobody returned my call.

The automatic transmission warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. A dealer was contacted back in 2012 who confirmed that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V006000 (Power Train); however, parts were not available. The contact called that same dealer in 2015 who confirmed that parts were available for the recall repair however, there was no available appointment and advised the contact to bring in the vehicle to be repaired only if a failure was experienced.

After the most recent failure, the contact called the same dealer and was informed that the system was indicating that the recall repair was completed; however, the vehicle was never scheduled for the recall repair. The contact confirmed that the recall repair was not performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.
