2002 Mercury Mountaineer brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When braking brakes failed, causing the vehicle to go into an embankment. Vehicle was towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *ak
Dt: while putting new brakes pads on the rear of my vehicle mechanic found that the coils around shocks were rusty, corroded, and crumbly. The coils fell apart in large chunk's in the mechanic's hands.
Abs light has came on 4 times in 2 years I had the ABS sensor replaced every time the truck has only 35450 miles on it. I paid over $31000 for this truck and I have had more trouble with it than any truck I have ever had in the past.
I purchased my 2002 mountaineer on june 20, 2004. When I am driving and hit the speed of 75 MPH I hear a loud whistling sound and the only way to get rid of the noise is to reduce my speed to under 75 MPH. I have spoken with another person who owns the same SUV and he has the same problem only on a larger scale. He has had the weather stripping replaced twice and still the noise remains. I will be taking it in soon to have it checked over since I am also having another problem when I stop and apply the brakes (loud squeaking noise).
At 43577 miles I am having to replace my rear-end. This is going to cost approximately. 1500.00. Also ABS sensor has to be replaced.
I have a continued problem of the ABS light coming on. I have had it in the shop 5-6 times. They changed the sensor and a while later it comes back on. On several occasions, my brakes have gone all the way to the floor. The dealership maintains that mercury is aware of the problem and may be working on a recall. My light is now on again and have placed a call to the dealership. I have to wait for the manager to return to town to see what he would like to do. Oh, and I do have the extended warranty that I have paid over $2,000. What is that for? What will it take, my brakes to go out?
The anti-lock brake system failed. It was serviced but the service technician stated it needed a new part to make the brakes effective. Provide further details............................................
Abs light continually comes on. On several ocassions, when applying the brakes, they go all the way to the floor with a shuddering noise. The vehicle has been in the dealership 5 / 6 times to repair this problem. The sensor has been changed and after a month or so, it comes back on again. On my last visit to the dealership, I was told mecury was aware of the problem and they were working on a solution. They said I would be contacted in a couple of weeks. That was months ago and my light is back on again. What will it take, an accident? Now I am waiting for the manager to return to town to give me a call.
Abs sensor light stayed on. Consumer stated that vehicle produced a loud grinding noise, and there was extended stopping distance. Dealer claimed ABS system failed.
Consumer stated the ABS had failed. Consumer stated the brakes went out on her twice and she drove it to the dealer . She stated the first time she took it to the dealer, she was told there was some kind of a leak. The second time they did not say anything. The vehicle was still making a thumping noise. *ph the anti lock brake system had a right inner seal leak and a rear sensor malfunction. The ABS light had come on at different times. *scc
The front end dash has a very loud rattle while letting up on the gas or depressing the brake the vehicle has been in the shop five times. They have readjusted the A/C lines many times, tightened items in the engine, and replaced a missing bolt in the firewall. It was fixed once that last a couple of months, but the noise is back. It will be going in the shop for the sixth time. Also, there is a squeak when going over bumps. It has been in the shop twice and they replaced the ball bearing joints. However, the squeak is back.
Consumer was traveling on a road less than 20mph and applied brakes, and vehicle kept on going. Vehicle stopped when she was at bottom of hill. There were no warning signals. This incident happened twice. Dealership was aware of problem.
