Our 1st SUV

2004 Mercury Mountaineer Premier AWD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)

This is our first SUV. This vehicle appears very large but actually is an inch shorter than our previous sedan. The interior is spacious and well appointed. The only change needed is a new location for the seat warmer switch. It's down on the side of the seat where it can't be seen or easily found by touch. My daily commute has been very enjoyable. The V6 provides adequate power. Merging and passing on the highway are no problem. Fuel economy has been better than expected averaging 18 mpg. Handling is predicable and secure. Parking is simple especially with the rear sensors. The cabin is quiet. The sound system with 6cd changer exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend this SUV.

I presently own a 2004 model purchased 4 weeks ago.I had a problem with the throttle body control that caused the car to shut down with Me and My family that includes My two year old daughter,and My eight year old nephew at 11:45PM, at night, on the Saw Mill River PKWY,in 40 degree weather.The road side assistance was horrible and left Us to fend for ourselves, to make it home back to Brooklyn 60 miles away.To top it off I had to pay for the tow, since they only covered 35 miles or nearest dealer.This is MY second Mercury product and it will be MY LAST.

Bad Transmission

2004 Mercury Mountaineer Premier AWD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 5A)

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.

Even with the price of gas this SUV is fun to drive. I love the power and speed this truck brings and the "Two- Tone" paint is a nice custom-look touch. Everyone one around here seems to have one. Very popular truck.

Rear End Defect

With only 2300 miles on my top of the line Mountaineer, that new car feeling disappeared when the rear end developed a vibration during low speed turns. The dealer determined that the rear differential had a manufacturing defect and the entire rear end was dissasembled and overhauled. The 2- month old truck was out of service for 6 days. We're a little nervous about future problems, but otherwise we enjoy the many features, the good looks and the roominess of our Mountaineer.
