Mercury Mountaineer: Great SUV

Great SUV. Smooth handling, superior performance, little noise in cabin, only complaint is poor fuel economy relative to other SUV's. Feels solid on the road and very comfortable.

the AWD is so well implemented that you don't notice it - unless youre the one driving the speed limit in the left lane when everyone else is slowing way down. This was my second (after a 2000)and the ind. rear susp improved the handling over the prev model. Even my wife loves it.

are you aware of the back window defect?

Three weeks ago my back window blew out on my 12 year old daughter. This was after I was warned by the dealer that the window might drop due to faulty hing. They repaired it and then it exploded as my daughter shut the back hatch. Are you aware ford has send their service departments a bulletin warning the service to watch out for broken hinges? This is a know defect that can be dangerous to the owner or a hazard on the road should it drop and explode on public highways. There is no recall as of yet.....

LEMON

Fuel guage gone already not covered under warranty. Strange jerk in transmission when shifting into 3rd. Anti-lock guage has been replaced twice already? Door hinges come loose every couple of months. Front strut replaced. This is a 35K DOLLAR CAR AND IT'S ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I WOULD EXPECT ALOT MORE. What a lemon!

It handles well and there have been almost 0 problems since we bought it. The outside paint job has held up like it is still new (and it is not a garaged car). We bought it new 5 1/2 years ago and the only thing we notice as it ages is that the "quietness" in the ride that was first there is beginning to wane, but not real noticable.
