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.....

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!
2002 horrible Mountaineer

Our Mountaineer has 67,700 miles on it and the transmission already has to be rebuilt. The transmission shop told me there was nothing that I did wrong or I could of done to prevent it, that this is a commom problem with this transmission. The dealership and Ford won't help us because the warranty is up. I contacted The National Traffic and Highway Safety Administration and made a formal complaint. If you have any problems with yours please do the same it only takes 10 to 15 minutes.
A good reason to buy a Honda.

We finally bought this after searching for a new car for 5 years.We bought this used and got a good deal, but could have gotten a better deal new (always check 1st).Anyway, after having the SUV for 2 years a few things have shown their ugly faces.1)the transmission is a lemon. Ford has recalled this transmission, but not on a mountaneer. 2)the fake metal trim is just cheap paint on tan plastic. 3)the 4L V6 needs to be trashed (just spent $500 to fix a CEL and do regualar maintance).4)don't buy for fuel economy.5)The interior parts are garbage. It will hold its own on the road, it's fun to drive for an SUV, and you cannot lose it in a parkinglot.
