2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"Good vehicle if Ford would correct the tailgate problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The most frustrating thing that has happened is the lift-gate has cracked at the Mercury symbol. There was a slight crack and now there are several. There is no recall at the moment, but I know of several people who have had this same problem with 2002 Explorers.
The brakes have needed repairs and one rear axle and one front axle.
General comments?
All in all I really like the Mountaineer. I have not had a lot of problems like I just read about. I like the 3-seat feature and the leather seat. I like the roomy front seats and the middle row seats.
The Mountaineer handles well on the road.
I would buy it again if it got better gas mileage.
