2002 Mercury Mountaineer AWD review from North America
"Very good and reliable AWD suv"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings getting replaced at 109,000.
Have had issues with the Check Engine Light, seems to be plagued with either a faulty gas cap or PVC valves.
No major problems with this vehicle.
General comments?
No transmission problems, ever! Driven multiple trips to Florida, another to Wyoming and Montana, just completed two weeks in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado pulling a camper-logging 4,000 miles! We also pull a boat around on weekends during the summer.
I have to wonder how and why others' vehicles perform SO poorly, yet I have had such good experience with my Fords. I still drive my '93 Ford Taurus SHO everyday, it has logged 189,000 going for 200,000. Same engine, 2nd clutch, 1 alternator, 3 starters (the car's only fault) multiple sets of tires- I like to drive!!
