2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"Very expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out 58,000.
Driver side wheel bearing out 49,000.
Passenger side wheel bearing out 62,000.
General comments?
This vehicle has been nothing but trouble.
Paint chips easily off of the roof rack.
Only pulled a light utility trailer a few times... vehicle has towing package and transmission goes out. Used transmission cost $2,500.
Wheel bearings wear out at a cost of $300.00 each.
This SUV rides very nice, but be prepared to spend large $$$$ for upkeep. Never buy a Mercury again!! I now see why all my buddies bought Toyota.
