After four months and 6,000 miles - the Merc. Mountie is the best vehicle we have ever owned. Quality is perfect. The ride w/ new suspension blows away the older version by providing maximum stability and comfort. A must buy in the SUV $30,000 - 35,000 market.

We have 2 and they are nothing but trouble. Transmission on both clunked so bad you had to look in the mirror to see if there were parts on the road. Dealer said it was computer calibration, but that did not totally fix the problem. Not the dealers fault, they received no technical bulletins from Mercury. Also we dislike the third row seat. Only small children could fit there. The seat doesn't fold down flat and should be optional.

Horrible Transmission Problems

To anyone that is looking to buy a Mercury Mountaineer. I never ever buy domestic cars, but needed a 7 seater so decided to go with the Mountaineer. 2 weeks into purchasing the car, the wheel bearing went out, so that was replaced by Ford at no charge. 2 years later the transmission went out on me. I had to fight it thru corp to get the dealership to fix it thru the warranty. It's been 2 years since I had that replaced, the transmission is starting to stall at 20-30 miles again, so another tranny problem comes. There should be a recall on transmission on these cars. If I have to replace 2 already in 4 years.

This vehicle was purchased used with 19k miles on it from a local mercury dealership, it has all the options, we bought this instead of the lexus rx300 big mistake, we've been ford people for 25 years, have had several ford vehicles but this ones been pretty much junk and the bad thing is that they know they issues with these vehicles but don't want to take the responsibility to take of there problems. This vehicle has had both rear wheel bearings replaced before the warranty ran out, constant transmission issues, rear axel leaking oil, rear coil spring broken, and it blew a spark plug out the head last week. Not to mention all the sensors replaced. We won't be buying this brand any more.

This has been a great car for us. Its safe and reliable, comfortable, and I've been happy with ford's free oil changes they offered us for the time we own the vehicle. Its a very nice car and great up in the mountains.
