I really tried to buy American when I bought this Mountaineer with only 38,00 miles on it in 2004. Now at 90,000 miles I have had to replace the transmission and not the rear end is failing. I have a Toyota Tundra and a Honda they have 106,000 miles and 170, miles on them respectively. I have NEVER replace a transmission or differential on either one. I just think I should have gotten more service out of this Mountaineer; after all, I thought American car manufacturers PROMISED to build better products. The promised has truly been broken, just like my pocketbook. NO MORE AMERICAN vehicles for me, and that's a promise.
Transmission is Terrible!

I love this SUV's design and ride. I HATE THE TRANSMISSION! I've had it in the shop numerous times with transmission issues - bad sensors, replaced parts, etc etc. Now it shudders when shifting into overdrive and has started to shift hard when in first gear or going into reverse. Guess what? Just told by delearship that I need a new transmission! I've had 3 Fords/Mercurys over the years and 3 Fords/Mercurys with transmission problems. I won't be a buy of theirs again. FIX YOUR PROBLEM FORD!!!

Love the concept of this SUV. SUV performs well except gas milage. However we have had this SUV in the shop 9 times in one year. 3 times for seat belt clip. 3 times for air conditionier finally figured out the air compressor was leaking feron so they had to replace compressor. Check engine light keeps coming on. Door hinge on drivers side keeps coming loose and squeaking like a worn out car. Back hatch latch kept coming apart. Finally that was fixed. We are at the point now were we don't know what could happy next.

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.....
