2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"Do not buy. Ford's quality dept was on vacation when these trucks were produced"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One week after purchasing this car used, I began to feel the transmission slipping. The aftermarket warranty paid the 1100 dollars to fix it.
Now the truck has 85K miles on it and is on its way to the shop again. However the original problem was never fixed. This time the overdrive light came on and its shifting incredibly hard. I will never buy Ford again.
Another thing wrong is the back lift gate is cracked just below the glass, I have seen two more trucks with the exact same crack. I called Ford and they have done nothing, not even a response after 1 year. Thanks Ford.
