I purchased this vehicle recently with only 40,000 miles. The car keeps stalling or dying as you may say as I drive. It will be okay for a short period of time and then just die right on the highway! once it dies once, the car will continue to do so over and over again until the engine has cooled down. I have the engine codes of P2104, P2111 and P2135 with a refere to P2101. I have brought it to several mechanics and paid well over $1,000 to fix this problem and it just continues. I am afraid my family may all die! were on 93 recently heading toward boston and my car died right at the intersection of 495. I had all my children in the car and it would not restart. I have fixed the fuel system (error code last time), had a complete tune up, and throttle sensor etc.

My 2006 Mercury Mountaineer was leaking coolant due to a crack in the radiator. After searching online forums, I have learned that has been a long standing issue with many of this vehicles owners. Unfortunately for owners, Ford issued a tbs in 2009 just in time for most of the affected vehicles' warranties to expire. Some owners are on their 3rd or more radiator replacement, I am only on my first. I petition that Ford recalls this issue before myself and others have to repeatedly pay for this clear design problem with their hard owned money. This problem also poses safety risk to the passengers operating these vehicles and to any animals attracted to the sweet smell of the coolant from affected vehicles whose owners who may not yet know this issue or cannot afford to fix it.

The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer. While driving at approximately 55 mph, the vehicle intermittently stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that eight spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred multiple times and a coil pack was placed to prevent the spark plugs from blowing out. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

I have gone through 3 radiators so far and now I need a 4th. This time, the radiator caused the pumps to start leaking ( which are not serviceable) and eventually ruined my transmission, rendering the truck non-drivable. This problem has cost me thousands of dollar and I want a recall to start on this part with Ford.

Purchased in June 2009 and have had problem after problem. Mountaineer premier AWD. Transmission issue, feels like you're getting hit from behind when coming to a stop. Radiator leaks. Back lift gate randomly opens, won't latch. When it rains, water comes in through the interior light mount and through dvd player. Spark plugs not easily replaced, broke off and had to be towed to a shop for removal. Gas unable to be pumped properly I can put in.25 at a time if I'm lucky. It takes 20 minutes to pump half a tank of gas. I love the features this vehicle has but this has been such a hassle.

Truck cooling system died which caused the truck to catch fire while driving down the highway, smoke poring out, state troopers had to assist us. My daughter was scared to death and now refuses to get back in the truck even though we got a new engine. To make matters worse we spent 3000 on and engine...500 on cooling system and had the transmission reprogrammed. The truck is still have major problems and now for says it needs the transmission rebuilt or replaced. All of this is out of pocket. We cant even trade it in bc they will only give us 1/2 of what we paid for it 2 yrs ago. Nightmare and makes me sick that Ford doesn't care.
