After disconnecting the battery for battery replacement original equipment 6 cd in dash player only shows CD Error. no error number. When investigating on the internet I found over 100 complaints with the same issue. I tried all the corrections suggested but nothing works. I own the car since new has very low mileage. I have 6 diskettes in the unit I cannot eject under any circumstance.

Big o techs conned wife into buying 2 tires and we own AWD SUV that requires 4 at the same intervals .i immediately notify them that this IS not safe and will damage my car they continued for over 2 months to lie to me about having somemone comtact me . I have all the communications I've had with them through messages. A few weeks after they put the tires on and refused to take them off and put my old o ES back on and issue a refund well my transmission and transfer case failed I contacted them again and again they lied to me about someone contacting me . I took my SUV to the transmission shop we measured over 2 inch circumference difference. I informed big o that I have a tsb issued by ford my employer that dates back to 2011 on tire circumference procedures for tire dealers to follow . The response I got was that big o refuses to review or acknowledge tsbs . That's alarming as tsbs are issued my the manufacturers for safety . I had my SUV fixed for 3000+ $ out of pocket and contacted big o the day I picked it up about the tires still being on there . I warned them this IS dangerous and can hurt my new drivetrain the very next day from getting my SUV out of the shop the tires again caused binding to occur but this time it led to what should've been a fatal accident where as the AWD system done it's job but the tires being off by so much made the SUV bind a three in into 3 360 degree spin and slammed the concrete median totaling my vehicle and injuring my wife. I've documented all messages with big o and have much more evidence related to this case that I'm unable to add in this description because I'm running out of allowed characters remaining . I did contact big o again and sent photos of my crashed SUV and suddenly they now won't respond back at all . I think this justifies a full investigation into there refusal to review tsbs and full reimbursement for all my

The problem IS getting worst and afraid I will be on the highway with my grandchildren when it breaks. I've had transmission level checked said it was fine. Getting ready to do a complete tune-up on it to see if that will help with the smell of gas and make it run better. It idles high. It's worst when I'm on the highway.

Just like every other mountaineer or explorer of this era the lift gate has cracked around the vehicle logo. this has caused problems including corrosion, rust, and locking mechanism failure on the liftgate. this problem can be seen on every single mountaineer or explorer of this era. it's pretty ridiculous that ford has not been forced to remedy the issue or done it voluntarily. it IS clearly an engineering failure.

Faulty airbags: on november 3, 2015 at approximately 0540, the side curtain (both driver side and passenger side) airbags exploded in my 2003 mercury mountaineer without cause while I was traveling 55 mph on a major/busy state highway. the explosion of the airbags hit me on my left side causing neck strain and temporary hearing loss to the left ear. I was the only occupant in the vehicle. I was able to safely drive to shoulder of road (i don't remember how I got there), luckily no cars were around me at the time. The explosion also caused the driver side window to fall from its casters and was unable to close window (and the passenger side rear window no longer works). The air in the curtains would not dissipate and I remember not being able to breath well. There was a chemical in the air and do to the curtains, it was difficult to get out of the car. later in the day I took car to reynolds ford and was told this was not covered by ford. I also went to my pcp and was treated with prednisone and ear wash for left ear hearing loss. later, had drivers window repaired.

See where several people are experiencing the same issues that I am having with my 2003 mountaineer. The rear gate IS cracking around the emblem. I've have reported this to ford and they tell me I can pay to fix it and if there IS recall they will reimburse me. In addition I am also experiencing the door ajar light coming on when all are shut and secure. I have contact ford and several local dealerships. The dealership all tell me their hands are tied until ford makes a decision and that I am not alone. Ford refuses to do anything. It's almost like they don't care. With all these complaints why isn't this agency doing something?

On may 19 2014 while putting a bag in the rear I noticed when lifting the tail gate a crack had appeared around the mercury emblem down to the bottom of the lift gate. I went to the local ford dealer as there are no more mercury dealers to question the problem. The collision manager told me this IS a common problem on this model and ford has not done a recall. I did not replace the plastic panel due to the cost of $500.00. in my opinion ford should have issued a recall. I also noticed on the internet how many people complained including this website. Why hasn't nhtsa done something about it?

On the baltimore-washington parkway (295 n ) northbound, changed lanes to the left and accelerated. The gas peddle was pushed to the floor, stayed there and would not release. I stood on the brakes, but only somewhat slowied the acceleration. The vehicle continued until we reached about 80mph and coming close to rear ending the vehicle in front of me. I went off on the shoulder and turned off the ignition key to get the vehicle stopped. The brake overheated brakes. I could not see a problem. This was not caused by a floor mat. The pedal was stuck to the floor. I wiggled and pulled and it come back up with a pop. In daylight the next day, I inspected the pedal and pushed it down. It again went to the floor and stayed there. I slid under the dash and found that the horizontal pin that holds the pedal to the floor bracket had backed out sideways from right to left, allowing the pedal to go somewhat sideways and the motor for the adjustable pedal assembly had caught on a metal bracket keeping the pedal from returning to the up position. I removed the pedal assembly and inspected the problem. This IS poor engineering and there should be a recall.. There are no clips or pins to hold the pedal pin in place ! ! ! The assembly relies on slight interference between splines on the pin and splines inside where it goes through the pedal. What happened was, that over a period of time, from the pedal wiggling, the pin backed out.from use, on its own. Again, this not sufficient to keep the pedal assembled. It need clips on both ends or cotter pins on both ends of the pin assembly. A concern IS the use of plastic bracket to mount the pedal to the floor. In my past experience, the mounting brackets had been made of metal. Plastic fatigues faster than metal and IS prone to cracking and breaking. *tr

I purchased a 2003 mercury mountaineer on 2/15/14 and I took it on a road trip on 2/16/4 with my grandkids. After entering the highway and gaining speed I started to smell a strong burnt rubber and exhaust smell. The smell was very toxic and stuck to our clothing. On 2/18/14, I took it to the dealer for his mechanic to take a look at it. The mechanic said there was some degreaser that overflowed from a cupler and leaked onto the exhaust. I asked if there was a leak and the mechanic responded by saying not really, which meant there was a leak. The mechanic assured me that the problem was taken care of, but if it still occurs, they would send it in for two days. I continued to smell the toxic smell and on 2/19/14 the hatch on lift gate just cracked. Also when I turn at a low speed, I hear a strange sound and vibration, coming from the tire area. I've heard of numerous issues and complications with the mercury mountaineers. I don't want my grandchildren nor my life put in danger. A driver should be ensured with safety when driving a vehicle. Ford doesn't care about their consumers to sell defective and nonsafe vehicles. Please recall this vehicle as it has too many issues that can be life threatening, like the rollover rate. *tr

This investigation is being closed based on several considerations.By the most inclusive counting of all alleged rollaway incidents (i.e., counting all alleged rollaway incidents and assuming a singular failure mechanism), the incident rate is low, however during EA09-013, ODI identified a number of different failure mechanisms in 180 incidents related to the alleged defect.The highest rate for any particular failure mechanism, the failure of the Automatic Transmission Parking System, was 4.4/100K.The next-highest failure rate was for the BSI System, at 3.4/100K.For all identified failure mechanisms there has been a drastically declining trend including very few incidents occurring in recent years.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.For additional information regarding this investigation, see the complete closing resume in the document file for EA09-013. The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification (ODI) numbers:10168454, 10279630, 10280078.

On september 6, 2005, odi received a petition requesting that the agency investigate allegations of engine spark plug ejection in certain model year 1997 through 2004 ford vehicles with triton V-8 and V-10 engines.odi received a total of 474 non-duplicative complaints on the subject vehicles where the complainant, or the dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine.as of december 8, 2005, odi IS not aware of any allegations where the alleged defect resulted in a loss of vehicle control, a crash, an injury, or a fatality in any of the 10,319,810 subject vehicles.in addition, odi IS aware of only two incidents where the vehicle stalled without restart.information contained in the odi consumer complaints and obtained from 72 telephone interviews with complainants showed the following:(1) 99% of the complaints were on my 1997 to 2002 subject vehicles.(2) most the complainants reported hearing a loud pop while driving or upon starting up the vehicle followed by a loud, repetitive clicking or popping sound.(3) many of the complainants reported that the popping sound was accompanied by some loss of vehicle power; however, in 99% of the incidents reported, the vehicle did not stall.in the very few incidents where the vehicle did stall, most vehicles could be restarted.(4) only a small percentage of the complainants cited that they smelled gas or a slight burning smell when the incident occurred.(5) in all but a very few incidents, vehicle damage was limited to the engine.in one incident, the complaint reported that the fuel rail was damaged and replaced after one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine; however, the complainant reported that the damage did not result in any type of fuel leak or fire.in another incident, the only incident where a fire was alleged, the complainant reported that no fluid leak was observed, but that a fire resulted after the spark plug had ejected from the engine and he had restarted the vehicle and driven to another location.none of the complainants reported any damage to the vehicle hood.(6) only two complainants reported that they observed what appeared to be some drops of fuel coming from the cylinder where the spark plug had failed or on the spark plug itself; however, each of these complainants reported that there was no smoke or flames as a result of his incident.as the petitioner noted, and odi?s analysis showed, it IS possible for a spark plug to detach from the engine cylinder threads in the subject vehicles.however, odi?s analysis of 474 complaints describing such incidents found only a very few alleged any safety-related consequences.none of these showed any evidence of a serious safety consequence.given the large population and relatively long exposure time of the subject vehicles, the complaint analysis indicates that the risk to motor vehicle safety from the alleged defect IS very low.in view of the foregoing, it IS unlikely that nhtsa would issue an order for the notification and remedy of the alleged defect at the conclusion of the investigation requested in the petition.therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize nhtsa?s limited resources to best accomplish the agency?s safety mission, the petition IS denied.
