MERCURY Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WITHOUT ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS. HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME. WORRIED THAT AN ACCIDENT MAY CAUSE INJURY.

CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF TO ABOVE 55 MPH AT LOCAL ROAD, WHEN PUT TO PARKING, THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING AT MORE THAN 3500 RPM, IT WAS CRAZY, NEARLY KILLED SOME KIDS.

MY 2007 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY, THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT DROVE. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND GOT TRANSMISSION FLUID PUT IN BUT THE PROBLEMS REMAINED THE SAME AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING UNIT WAS LEAKING (THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THESE CARS AND VERY DANGEROUS, NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!) AND HAD CAUSED VERY EXPENSIVE WIRING ISSUES. ALMOST ACTS EXACTLY LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT - RPM'S ARE WAY TOO HIGH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY TRAFFIC, THE CAR JUMPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND IT DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY. PROBLEMS OCCURRED OUT OF NOWHERE AND ARE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE IGNORED BUT VERY EXPENSIVE TO BE FIXED. ITS VERY COMMON AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED!!!!

I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. TWO MONTHS AFTER NOTIFICATION I WENT TO THE OXMOOR FORD DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE TIME TO HAVE CAR FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THE PARTS IN. OVER A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I HEARD NOTHING. PLEASE NOT2 I AM BABYSITTING MY YOUNGER GRANDCHILDREN AND USE MY CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE BEEN BACK SEVERAL MORE TIME TO TALK TO THEM. (AND PHONE CALLS) WHICH I AM TOLD OVERTIME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. OVERTIME I AM TOLD THEY HAVE ME ON THEIR LIST BUT OVERTIME I GO THEY NEVER HEARD OF ME. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING PUT OFF. P>S> I GOT AN OFFER TO BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED AND NOT GOTTEN ANY RESPONSE FROM A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO WHEN I CAN HAVE MY FREE CORRECTION OF MY AIRBAG RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BY NHTSA (16V384) AND MANUFACTURER (16S26) IN JUNE 2016, SO IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND NO CORRECTION HAS BEEN OFFERED. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TAG JGE563 MISSISSIPPI. I CAN SEND REGISTRATION IF REQUIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE, IN MARCH 2017, FROM FORD, THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS BEING RECALLED. WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD SEND ME ANOTHER LETTER WHEN I NEEDED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. 8 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO LETTER. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM IN. ON THE AIRBAG RECALL.COM WEBSITE, IT SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL SINCE JANUARY 2017.

STEERING IN VAN BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER.HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION AND NEW BELT..STILL DIFFICULT TO STEER.SITTING STILL OR GOING AROUND TURNS.

TAKATA RECALL.I CALLED THE FORD GARAZE NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS AIR BAG NEEDING REPLACED AND EVERY TIME I CALL THEY TELL ME THE PART IS ON ORDER AND CANT GET IT IN..MY AIRBAG HAS BEEN SEPARATING AT THE SEAM AND IM CONCERENED THAT IT WILL EXPLODE WITH MY CHILD IN THE FRONT SEAT

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MILAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED (COWLES PARKWAY FORD, 13779 NOBLEWOOD PLAZA, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22193 AT (703) 986-5500) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
