Common Mercury Mountaineer Problems and Repairs

Your Mountaineer is everything one could want in a mid-size luxury SUV with the Mercury moniker -- a great handler, with all the accoutrements one could ask for. It should last you decades, a couple hundred-thousand miles at least -- you'll just have to service it regularly.

To do that, you'll need to know what to look for. Here's a few common problems you might run into, plus what to do about them.

Liftgate

If the trim on the liftgate of your Mountaineer has cracked, it's probably a bad applique. This is a known issue for models from between 2002 and 2009 with 200,000 or fewer miles. A Ford service bulletin should cover how to replace the applique without damaging the glass.

HVAC System

If you hear clicking in the dash of your Mountaineer, and its temperature control has stopped working, then you've probably got either a bad heater blend door or a failed actuator. These are known issues for models from between 1997 and 2010 with 270,000 or fewer miles. Either might be your only problem, or you might have to replace the entire heater box.

Transmission

If your Mountaineer has a fluid leak in its transmission, and it isn't changing gears like it's supposed to, there's a good chance that, if the gearbox can't be repaired, it'll need to be replaced. This is a known issue for models from between 1998 and 2008 with 248,000 or fewer miles.
