Recall Repair Fraud

Thousands of these cars are still driving around without power steering. The company chose the cheapest of the three repair options for most cars, and are not legally required to repair the problem again when that first repair fails, which most do. Pretty efficient scam.

SUBFRAME RUSTS, MAKE CAR UNDRIVABLE!!!

AVOID THIS CAR AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU GET IT SAFETY CHECKED FIRST FOR SUBFRAME DAMAGE!!! My dad bought a 2009 Mercury Mariner used in 2012 and it now has 155,000 MILES IN DECEMBER 2022. We had very few issues over the last 10 years, until we discovered subframe problem. My mechanic inspected the car and found a huge, rusted hole in the SUBFRAME. Hitting a pothole could cause that to break. It would be a major repair, causing you to replace shocks, struts, etc. He said the CAUSE was over time, THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKED ONTO THE SUBFRAME CAUSING IT TO RUST. HE HAS SEEN THIS ON A LOT OF MARINERS. The Ford Escape was made the same way, EXCEPT Ford recalled that vehicle and fixed the issue, but since Mercury division was closed, no warranty!!!! AVOID THIS CAR AT ALL COSTS, UNLESS IT IS INSPECTED UNDERNEATH TO SEE THE SUBFRAME ON THE CAR!!!

Great price on very low mileage car

So far car is great. AWD will be nice in the snow. It has plenty of interer room and adaquate power. Color is nice and tires are new.

Car is new to us. Just getting used to it.

The car is all we wanted and more. Lot of inside space. Lots of extra electronic to get used to. Car rides like a new car.

Best SUV I've owned

I loved it. I've wanted one for 5 years and finally got it. It's light and sunny and I took it on many a road trip, reclined the seats and slept in the back many times. I love the luxury look, the interior and exterior, especially for the price. Perfect. Will definitely buy again. Sucks they stopped manufacturing these cars, but that's how it goes with anything that I really love and become loyal to buying.

My favorite SUV

I loved my Mariner before I got rear ended and it was totaled. Very comfortable, great design inside, lots of amenities (except the Sync. That was a total failure. If Ford had just gone with Apple instead of Microsoft, a whole lot of problems could have been avoided and the xxxx thing might have actually worked). Fairly average gas mileage. Lots of room.
