2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"I like my vehicle, but I won't buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought my 02 Mountaineer used. I have in the past year replaced the tie rod on the rear 2 times. Fortunately I had a warranty and it only cost me $100.00 each time.
More frequently than not, it makes a noise when I am turning, sounds like a clunking noise.
Right now, I am dealing with a broken gear shift. I looked around on the internet and some of the articles I saw, people paid upwards of $1400.00 for the steering column and the part that they actually needed only should have cost them $70.00. It used to be that you could get the parts you needed, but now you have to buy the whole column.
