#492 of 500 2005 Mercury Mariner Idle Problem by cammys2 Jun 17, 2008 (3:17 pm)
I have a 2005 Mercury Mariner FWD 4 Cyl. and about 78000 miles on it. When I come to a stop from driving the RPM drops and the engine gets real sluggish and dies. It has been doing this for about 1000 miles so far and tool it into a Ford Dealership, wrong thing to do. Charged me $73 to tell me the Idle Air Control Valve was bad, so I replaced it and about 24 hrs later started having the same problem all over again. Took it again to another Ford Dealership out of state as I was on a trip. Cost me $93 to tell me there was nothing the computer could find and no faults in the memory. You have to get the engine hot and be running the AC for this to act up, any ideas anyone? Replies to this message: paulcarter (May 18, 2009 3:58 pm) counselor4444 (Aug 24, 2009 3:05 am)
#493 of 500 Are the seats nicer than the Escape? Better interior? by kmauss Aug 27, 2008 (4:44 am)
Hi there, I looked at a Ford Escape a few years ago and basically I like the vehicle, but I thought the interior was cheesy and the seats were awful, so it got eliminated from my list. I'm just starting to look around again for when my lease is up, and I need a vehicle that will haul 'stuff' but isn't a land yacht. I haven't actually gone to look at these yet, but I was wondering about the interior comfort issue. I'm fairly picky about seats and the person who would most often be riding with me is incredibly picky about seat comfort due to a bad back.   Also wondering about long term durability. My family's experiences with Fords have not been too good.   thanks Karen
#494 of 500 Problem With Power Steering Pump by ebc79 Nov 09, 2008 (2:05 pm)
I bought my 2006 Mariner brand new and have had it in the dealership now 3 times for the same problem. My power steering keeps going out on me. The first time they said it was the power steering switch and they replaced that. 8 months later, it happened again and they said they probably just replaced it the first time with a faulty switch and replaced it again. Low and behold 8 months later, it happens again! This time they said they had to call Ford and find out what to do and they told them to change the power steering pump. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, my warranty is up in a couple months, do I take my chance on keeping this car? Is there anyway I can make the dealership take it back after this has happened 3 times? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks EBC

Replying to: robinhirth (Dec 05, 2007 7:15 pm) I just bought a 2008 Mariner V6 2WD Premier and noticed that it sits around 2000rpm for 10 seconds or so before starting to lower its rpms.This hasn't made me nervous because my roommates 2006 lincoln LS does about the same thing and his BMW X3 before that always started at a higher rpm level before lowering. The computer module is programmed what rpm level to run the engine at until it is warmed up, then either a quick tap on the gas pedal or putting it into gear will lower the rpm's.

Replying to: weziespice (Mar 04, 2008 10:56 am) I love my 08 Mariner V6 2WD Premier and I think the sound noise is good-Very good but this is the first american SUV I've owned. I really notice the tire noise on the road, but I have just accepted that its because the factory Continentals are probably cheap SUV tires. They do seem to grip fairly well in a snow storm, but sound more like a large truck with oversized tires. If you turn up the stereo like I do, then you won't hear the road noise.   Happy Driving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#497 of 500 Mercury Mariner = Lots of Problems!! by KLH547 Jan 05, 2009 (4:09 pm)
I have an '08 Mercury Mariner V6 that I leased in May of '08. I have not owned an American car in some time and this one was leased very very quickly with very little research. The purchase of a leased car fell through at the last minute and I had to find a car and fast! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced any of the following? the passenger doors - front and back - were taking on water, soaking the carpet and underneath the plastic edge. All of the door seals had to be replaced - only had the car for 4 mos. at the time. The car also has the reverse sensing system - now periodically, when I put the car into reverse, it starts going off even if nothing is there. I have gotten out and checked and nothing. Also, I cannot get the gas tank to fill beyond 3/4 of a tank. No matter what, I have even overfilled the tank and no dice. In addition to the gas tank, the mileage per gallon gauge which I reset everytime I fill the tank swings wildly, and I mean wildly! Anywhere from 9 miles per gallon to 42! Which I know is so not true!! Any feedback would be great!

Replying to: cammys2 (Jun 17, 2008 3:17 pm) I know your message is old, but we also have a 05 Mariner FWD 4 cyl. had the same problem replaced the idle air control valve and had the same problem. Did you ever get the problem solved? If so, how? If not how has the car been since your post? We like the car and want to take good care of it so that it will last for a long time. Any information would be helpful. Replies to this message: counselor4444 (Aug 24, 2009 3:05 am)

Replying to: paulcarter (May 18, 2009 3:58 pm) Having the same problem here on my 05 Mariner V6 FWD with 86K mi. Car stalls sometimes when coming to a stop. Brought it into my local dealership (Fette Ford) and they changed everything from spark plugs to fuel injection tubes. Cost me $1400. Now, one week later, still stalling. I am taking it back in tomorrow.   When the stalling first began, I found that Ford had released a technical service bulletin (bulletin 07-5-6) for the 05 Ford Escape and 05 Mercury Mariner models that state that sporadic stalling may be caused by a failing torque converter. I told the dealership this when I went there last week. They said no. I guess they will have to re-evaluate this. I am not paying them another $1400. This is ridiculous.
