2006 Mercury Mariner Engine Problems

“The gear shift is not properly shifting. It goes from park to reverse on its own. Sometime it wont reverse and makes a loud noise. It click back and forth between gears. Ive replace the switch to see if that would work but it doesnt. Please let me know if I can do anything to fix this problem but it is the same recall 15v606000 for other vehicals of the same type”

“As I am driving down the road, on a city street. The vehicle will just shut off, for no apparent reason. It does this several times. Every time the car is been driven it will shut off several times and me and my family have been in traffic when this has occurred. It continues to do this at any speed and every time the car is driven. Can't drive the car not even a mile before it totally shuts off.”

“The truck shuts off when I come to a complete stop. It usually happens when I'm attempting to stop at a yellow light to avoid running the red light. If the truck come from a high rate of speed (45 MPH) to (0 MPH) it just turn off.

I think this is very dangerous for a vehicle to just stop. It has happened about 20 times since 03-29-2014. …”

Trying to solve the issue, I went to metric bolts and nuts, in wakefield, ma, and bought a higher grade hardened steel bolt/screw, and it also broke off a week later. …”

“My vehicle: 2006 Mercury Mariner hybrid SUV. Purchased new in 2006. In hot weather...vehicle engine quits while in motion on freeway at approximately 70 MPH (3 times), and city streets (3 times). Extremely dangerous when engine quits while driving on freeway in traffic. All you can do (while praying!) is coast to a stop and do your best to pull off on to shoulder of road without crashing into other vehicles. We have tried 3 times to get ford motor to repair this problem...all to no avail. The last time we had to pay approximately $1,500. However, ford motor did reimburse us! …”
