We bought this car 2 years ago and I couldn’t be happier. Great family hauler with the third row seats. Great AWD system that cuts through Michigan winters with ease. Only abnormal repairs were thermostat housing and fuel rail pressure sensor so far. Why ford made the thermostat housing out of plastic?! pretty dumb but luckily there is an aftermarket aluminum one I replaced it with. I’ll never have to worry about it leaking again. Changing the fuel rail pressure sensor gave me a chance to also clean the intake and a full time-up with ease (plugs, wires, coil pack etc.). It just hit 100k miles and still runs and drives like new. We take a trip to Florida every year it’s a dream to drive.

Bought this vehicle at 52,000 miles in 2013. Pros: High ground clearance, handles pot holes, curbs, and other road hazards with impunity. Very stable in all weather conditions. Cons: Since then, it had a total transmission failure, more than a few problems with the engine cooling system, two expensive computer repairs, a broken heater blend door, and a few other repairs. The factory alloy wheels corroded, causing frequent tire pressure loss. At this point, it seems like we've replaced everything but the engine. Power is adequate, but gas mileage is around 12 MPG. If I had a do-over, I would have bought a different SUV.

This is my third Mountaineer (had a 2002 & 2005). They keep getting better. Fuel economy not a factor due to my low mileage - comfort, safety, traction in the snow, room to transport items and style, these are what counts to me and the Mountaineer is a 10 in all respects. Large lease discount from Ford makes this vehicle a great deal.
Love the Mountaineer

Really nice truck, pulls our boat well. Wish it had load leveling suspension though. Navigation system works well.

This is the 3rd explorer/mountaineer in my family, and I am very disappointed. The first two were fabulous cars, hence I bought another one. It is 2.5 years old, 42,000 miles, and I've had the following replaced (accident-free): tires, rims, shifter, radiator, intake fan, and belt. A new car should not need so many repairs especially when it is well maintained.
