Rust disease

My new (now 16 years) 2005 v8 Overall has been a good car. I really like it. Little mechanical issues here and there I’ve kept up with. My intense disappointment has been the rust that is spreading like a disease above the rear wheel fenders on both sides. I have over 30 pictures on my cell phone of other Mountaineers and Ford Exployers with the same issue, in the same places. Can’t tell me Ford/Mercury doesn’t and didn’t know it was an issue!! Out of warranty, out of luck. I’m trying to do minimal body bonding a little at a time myself as quotes to do it by a body shop start at $2,500.00 a side. Trying to keep it till it dies (or I do. I’m 72 years old and hoping I don’t have to get a new car with gadgets I don’t need or want.) Oh …. to add one more body issue is the hatchback Mercury emblem has a crack around it that runs down the hatch from there about 5-6”. Diane - Grayslake, Illinois

this was the worst car regarding a crash. my husband was driving 20 miles pr hour, hit a car in the rear. the car he hit was a 2002 Toyota who hit a 2006 Volkswagen. My car was totaled. The whole front end buckled up like a accordion. The worse issue was the air bags came out and they where deflated. They never blew up, we had a passenger in the car thank God no one was injured. The other two cars drove off. This car has electrical issues with the windows right passenger door window electrical. Otherwise I loved this car. Gas was bad also. Car holds great value.

Picked a Red Convenience up with all the bells and wistles. There are a few feature missing like rear motion detector and heated seats and DVD..but for the 24K i picked this AWD up for we love it. The 3rd row is not very practical..but we kinda knew that..it more of a nice option just incase you need to seat more people. Once in the 3rd row...its not too bad even for adults.it just getting back there that is the issue. However I think this is the case with most mid-sized SUV's. The mileage is not great..but c'mon its an SUV what do you expect ;) I really love this car and glad we went with this instead of a Lame Toyota Sienna. Highly recommended..8.8 outta 10.
Never Want to Drive a CAR

I Love this truck. We go the DVD package and our little girl will ride forever without interruption I believe that is a selling point in its own, all the kids want to ride with us because of the TV and headphones, you can still listen to your channel and they can still watch TV without interruption. But the truck itself is AWESOME I will never own another CAR at all. The gas prices may stink now but they will go down and I will still have my GREAT truck
Terrible buy!!!

I bought this car exactly 1 year and 2 months ago. It is a piece of junk. It rides well but it doesn't ride as well as GMC or the Japanese companies. This car has okay pickup and terrible gas milliage. The quallity of this car is cheap since it is a Ford product. Next time, I will either buy the Chevy Tahoe, Infiniti FX45, or the Toyota Highlander, or the Honda Pilot or CRV. They all ride better and are nicer. I was taken and I bought an suv with a terrible value.
