2004 Mercury Mountaineer Luxury Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
6 of 8 people found this review helpful
Bought this SUV and within three months the battery died, this made passive alarm go off. After 3 DAYS and $300 the dealership finally made time to rekey it and get it started! 23 months later the tranny goes out with a minimum price of $2,400! Wish I would have saw these reviews sooner.In this economy who can afford to take this kinda loss? Yet after reading all these reviews, I can't afford to keep this thing without a government bailout. I'm going to take a loss and by me a Honda.

I bought this car used and absolutely love it. In my opinion everyone thing is right where is should be. The stereo controls are easy to find, importants gauges or readings are located near each other, so you don't have to search for what you need to read. I have the optional v8 which is great for towing and will throw you back in your seat real quick! Leather comes standard, 3rd row comes standard, heated mirrors, tons of storage, it has it all and then more, great SUV.

I have a 2004 Mountaineer and it currently has 248,000 miles on it. We have only done standard maintenance repairs on it- oil changes at 4000 miles, brakes, and one alternator. Other than that it has always kept us safe, kept driving us home and I never worried on long trips about it. I knew it would keep us all safe. We have driven to Florida, Niagara Falls, Ely, MN, SC and many other trips. It has held many strollers and car seats with plenty of room. I love the back window hatch open you cant find that any more. They all have the whole door that opens now. Now that it is so old the problems we have had are the hydraulics on the hatch and back door stick. the AWD have locked a little now and the drive train is going. I am so sad to say good bye to my mountaineer! anyone thinking of buying one please do you will so happy and will get your money's work many times over. This vehicle has been paid for many years!

My parents bought this car brand new and gave it to me. They had no problems every, except that back hatch crack that is common, i get it and everything is wrong at 76,000. rain out of gas on I-80 recently because all of a sudden my gas gage doesnt work. my ABS light is always on and my cruise never works. my ac and heat do not work. back riper flew off, tranny is apparently going out, loud metal clinking, stereo bass and treble dont work, speaker goes in and out, leather had been cracked since day 1. i love this car cause i know what it was like brand new and have kept us safe but i offically hate it too

My vehicle is actually a 2002 Mountaineer Premier. The transmission developed a stutter at 17,000 miles. It now has 63,000 miles and Ford has refused to take the vehicle back under the Lemon Law in my state. I would recommend the 4X4 or 4X2 Explorer, but NOT the AWD version of the 5 speed transmission.
