2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"Car great in the snow, but transmission problems solidifies the fact that I will never buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 42,000 solenoid had to be replaced at a cost of $600. Now at 60,000 transmission had to be rebuilt at a cost of $2,400. Car was out of warranty and not under an extended warranty.
General comments?
It seems that a new car, one owner, 3 years old and not yet paid for should still have the original transmission. Must be a defect in the transmission.
