2010 Mercury Mariner Electrical system Problems

“Vehicle's electronic power steering turned off in the middle of driving, turning on highway, this has happened 3 times, seems like when the heat is on. Recall 14s05c shows up in service records from this car. Works was done my mahopac ford, mahopac, ny. Reflash ic and pscm. This recall was apparently addressed, but the problem has come back. I just bought this car used two weeks ago. It did not have this problem until I turned the heat on. Not sure what to do.”

“Coming to a stop at a red stop light and then trying to accelerate from red to green light at an intersection my vehicle went into limp mode, it lost power. It would not accelerate pass 10mph. An engine light came on as a orange wrench light. I drove as I could and made to auto zone. They plug in the hand held car computer and it gave the code p2119. Which stands for throttle body.”

After shutting the car off for 15 minutes and restarting the lack of power steering remained, but there was now a message saying power steering assist fault . This car has several other electrical problems with regard to the A/C & blower, and also the drivers side window and dome lights work sporadically.”

Early in august we noticed the air conditioning was no longer cooling the vehicle. There was an outstanding recall --- 14s05 -- related to the power steering. I took the vehicle to a local ford dealer to have the recall work done. As a side issue I asked that the A/C be checked. …”

“I had just gotten back from a long trip, and was stopped at a red light - I barely accelerated once it turned green, and the car lost complete and total power, in the middle of the intersection. A wrench light came on. No throttle was working as much as I pressed down. The car kept snail pacing until I got to an empty parking lot where I turned the vehicle off. I turned it back on and it revved itself, so I turned it back off. Turned it back on and all of a sudden it worked again. …”
