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!

I have had my Mountaineer for 2,500 miles now and I am as happy with it as I was when I left the lot. I have had no problems except the CD player acting up. the drive, the handling, the looks inside/out, the quality and firmness of ride is outstanding. Rides as well as the Land Rover for 2x the price of the Mountaineer and I like the styling better. Its fun to drive, stable and the front end stands out as a dressy explorer. I have gotten lots of compliments on it as you dont see many on the road. One reason why I like the Mountaineer.
a perfect fit

besides a few minor hardware problems this vehicle is a steal for the money. bought this as a replacement for a grand cherokee that was driving us to bankruptcy with repairs. we haul 2 adults 2teens and 2 dogs comfortably. the v6 has plenty of power for us , we also tow a utility trailer no problem . get the v8 if towing campers.
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.
