#481 of 500 Re: Used 2005 Mariner Premier with "cupped" tires? [ladykiller] by fatshenry Jul 17, 2007 (6:29 am)
Replying to: ladykiller (Dec 18, 2006 9:47 am) I have a 2005 Mariner 4WD V6 (25,000 miles), I think the tires are cupped also. Will the dealer replace the tires under warranty.   Thanks,   Bill
#482 of 500 Mariner Cupped Tires? by fatshenry Jul 18, 2007 (10:19 am)
I bought 2005 Mercury Mariner Premier (28,000 mi) to months ago. The tire noise is really bugging me, has anyone experienced the same. It could be that the tires are cupped, does Ford warranty cover cupped tires.?   Thanks,   Bill
#483 of 500 Tire Road noise by fatshenry Aug 15, 2007 (10:14 am)
There is a lot! of tire road noise from my 2005 Mariner. The faster you go, the louder it gets. Has anyone experiened the same thing and What did you do about it, did you change tire brands, did it help, etc. Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks, Bill Replies to this message: nvbanker (Aug 16, 2007 7:35 pm)

Replying to: fatshenry (Aug 15, 2007 10:14 am) There is a lot of difference in road noise between brands, tread designs and wear patterns. And you can affect the road noise in the car by changing tires easily. Generally speaking - very cheap tires are noisiest.
#485 of 500 2007 Mariner with 2000 RPM cold Idle by robinhirth Dec 05, 2007 (7:15 pm)
Is it normal for my 2007 Mariner to idle at 2000 rpm when I have a cold weather start? It idles at 2000 rpm for about 4 seconds, then drops down to 1200 rpm over the next five seconds. My dealership says this is normal and no codes show up in their engine analyzer.   The history on this car may be important. Nine weeks after I purchased the car I was in an accident which sliced off the front end back to the radiator and frame. Two months and $14,000 later, the cold weather has arrived.   Should I be concerned about a high rpm before oil has reached engine parts? Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Replying to: robinhirth (Dec 05, 2007 7:15 pm) Robin,   I know your post is almost a month old, but I thought I'd reply anyway. My brother just bought a 2008 Mariner Premier a couple of months ago, and he's complained of exactly the same thing. But, the dealership said this is normal control of the initial idle speed by the ECM. My brother was also worried about the top end (valvetrain) lubrication when cold during the initial 2,000 RPM idle, but again, it appears perfectly normal. If you are concerned, you may wish to consider using synthetic oil in the specified viscosity range, as it tends to provide quicker lubrication at start up, especially if you live in a cold climate and park the Mariner outside.

Replying to: colloquor (Dec 30, 2007 6:25 pm) Thank you so much for responding to my question about my Mariner's cold idle. You were the only person to reply so it is comforting to know that your brother was also told it was normal.
#488 of 500 Oil Changes on Mariner by taft_hartley Feb 23, 2008 (5:21 am)
Just bought an 08 Mariner Premier. The book says to do oil changes at 7,500 miles. That seems to be a really long time between changing it. Has anyone followed it and been OK or followed it and had problems?
#489 of 500 Mariner 2008 by weziespice Mar 04, 2008 (10:56 am)
Hi all I'm told that the 08's changes have eliminated some problems from previous years. Specifically exessicve wind noise (internal sound proofinng) and the wheel cupping problem. For those that do have the 08, w/a V6 engine, how do you feel the overall ride is, city and highway?   Are you happy with it?   Thanks Replies to this message: airboi80 (Dec 16, 2008 1:25 am)
