2007 Mercury Mountaineer

EXACT SAME AS NHTSA ID # 10654146. THE "EASY EXIT" FEATURE ACTIVATED AT 65 MPH IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. I AM 6' TALL AND WAS ABLE TO SLIDE SEAT FORWARD, BUT MY WIFE IS 5' TALL AND MAY HAVE HAD ISSUES REACHING THE PEDALS... THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS ( 2 AT FREEWAY SPEED, AND ONCE PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY). I WILL CONTACT DEALER, BUT WANTED SEARCH RECALLS FIRST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACK, AND THE DOME LIGHT CAME ON. THIS REALLY SCARED ME! THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED WITH OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO (THE SEAT MOVES BACK, I MOVE THE SEAT UP & IT GOES BACK AGAIN, I MOVE IT UP AGAIN...UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPS). THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN PERIODICALLY EVERY SINCE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACK, DOME LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (VEHICLES "EASY EXIT" FEATURE) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LUCKILY I AM TALL ENOUGH TO REACH THE PEDALS AND WHEEL WHILE THE SEAT WAS MOVED BACK, BUT MY WIFE IS ONLY 5' 4" AND WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME REACHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER MOUNTAINEERS AS EVIDENCED BY THE MANY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. THE CAUSE IS ANY SLIGHT BUMPING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH OR THE STEERING COLUMN/WHEEL. *TR

PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES MARCH 9, 2013 FROM OUR LOCAL MR. TIRE IN MARION OHIO. THEY STARTED GOING BAD THIS SUMMER. WENT TO MANAGER AND WAS TOLD YOU NEVER HAD THEN ROTATED AS TOLD. WE DID GO AFTER 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE AND TOLD TO COME BACK NEXT DAY SINCE THEY WERE TOO BUSY THAT DAY. THEY WERE NOT NICE AND I CALLED TIRE COMPANY GITI TIRE AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE STORE CALL THEM WHICH MR. TIRE NEVER DID, MANY LIFE EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THEN AND NEVER WENT BACK. THE TWO BACK TIRES NOW HAVE SHARP METAL COMING THRU AS FOUND BY MY SON WHEN I ALMOST WRECKED IN THE RAIN YESTERDAY. THE TWO FRONTS ARE GOING BALD. THE TIRES ARE RUNWAY ENDURO 816 - P235/65R18. THEY HAVE 18, 660 MILES ON THEM WITH A 40,000 MILE WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE 4 NEW TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD MOVE BACK INDEPENDENTLY AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM REACHING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. SHIFT IS LOCKED INTO PARK AND WILL NOT SHIFT TO ANY GEAR AND DEPRESSING LEVER BUTTON AND BRAKE WILL NOT RELEASE OUT OF PARK. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HUNTINGTON FORD IN ROCHESTER HILL AND BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD BY FORDS SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS IS NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST $500.00 JUST FOR THE PART. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT MAY BE A DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM OUT OF MANY VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED FOR YEARS. *JS
