#3294 of 3320 '05 Transmission Problem by carostegui Feb 11, 2008 (9:47 am)
I understand that the '04 Mountaineer had a transmission recall. I have an '05 and the same problem happened to mine, but the VIN number doesn't pull up under the recall. Anyone else have problems with and '05 or do you know of any recalls on the '05 Mountaineer transmissions. About $2900 worth Replies to this message: mclement1 (Mar 14, 2008 6:17 am) MtneerLemon (Jan 26, 2009 10:28 am) mtnman1 (Feb 09, 2009 4:27 pm)

Replying to: rpm911 (Dec 27, 2007 9:11 pm) we have the same crack-just appeared one morning. And action taken towards repair? Replies to this message: keogh22 (Mar 26, 2008 5:50 am) mtnman1 (Nov 01, 2008 10:59 am) bryansos (Nov 02, 2008 5:26 am) and 8 more... mjcourt (Dec 02, 2008 12:23 pm)
#3296 of 3320 Re: New tires for a 19999 Mountaineer (8 cyl) [pboro] by romi Mar 12, 2008 (5:05 pm)
Replying to: pboro (Jan 29, 2008 9:05 am) I have a 1997 Mountaineer and have gone thru 3 sets of tires. You need to rotate them every 5000 or when you remember. If you get mud or snow in the rims they'll be unbalanced. And if you get uneven tread wear try to rebalance them. It helped me once.

Replying to: mandlair (Feb 19, 2006 1:09 pm) I have had my 97 Mountaineer for 226,000 miles and the Check Engine light came on at 80,000 miles and the code said EGR valve. I was quoted $400 to fix it because it was inside the engine somewhere. I said the car runs fine. They said don't fix it then. So I haven't - the only problem I have is the check engine (idiot ) light on the dashboard cannot be stopped. When it is reset it simply comes on again. All you 97 owners can expect the engine to last 200,000 miles no problems I still don;'t even burn oil. But tires, ball joints and breaks are common replacements. My last repair was the fuel pump at 225,000 miles.   My next repair is the ? This car makes a groaning noise when I turn corners especially when it is warmed up. When I drive straight no problems. Any suggestions? I fear driveshaft or CV joints. Any idea how much these things cost?

Replying to: carostegui (Feb 11, 2008 9:47 am) I have an '05 Mountaineer and my roof paint cracked and flaked off all the way down to the base gray. It was 3 weeks out of warranty; the dealership got a quote to repaint for $980 after Ford refused to correct the mistake. (They admitted it was a factory defect in paint). I was offered a deal to pay $200 and Ford pick up the rest. Plus, the motor in my back windows went out and the fuel gauge doesn't always show a full tank even after I fill up.
#3299 of 3320 crack on the liftgate by alman08 Mar 15, 2008 (7:45 pm)
it all happened overnight because Henry Ford was pissed off at what's happening with his company and his ghost came out everynight cracking those liftgates trying to deliver a message to his heirs... "DO SOMETHING!"
#3300 of 3320 liftgate by meemee Mar 16, 2008 (10:08 am)
If the ghost is sending a message it isn't helping. The crack appears "better" in warm weather. Cold really draws it apart and it stands out. Ford offered to "maybe" help toward repair. But said that I would using my one time out of warranty coverage. Getting an estimate. Really have not had any other problems or expenses. Only oil, filters, gas, wipers and tires.
#3301 of 3320 Re: Just bought one, tow package, 3rd row question [jposter] by stephensonjr Mar 21, 2008 (8:59 am)
Replying to: jposter (Jun 26, 2002 9:26 pm) I've got a 2005 Explorer with the factory tow package. I found the wiring harness in the rear storage. It has pigtails that will connect to the brake controller, but where under the dashboard is the connection that it plugs into?
#3302 of 3320 Re: 2003 crack in Liftgate [meemee] by keogh22 Mar 26, 2008 (5:50 am)
Replying to: meemee (Feb 16, 2008 8:18 pm) I've called my dealership about the crack and getting it fixed; all they had to say was that there has been no recall issued yet. The Explorer has the same problem and Ford has issued a recall and is fixing the problem as long as the vehicle is under 6 years old and has fewer than 75,000 miles on it.   I've called Ford/Mercury about issuing one for the Mountaineer and they said they haven't. My only thought is that they are waiting for more people to complain before they issue a recall.   So, if you haven't called Ford to report your problem, please do, so we can all get this fixed.
