2009 - Mercury Mariner on 2040-cars
Riverton, New Jersey, United States
This is a great little SUV and we get 29 MPG regularly around town in the summer and 27 MPG on the highway. We have got as high as 31 MPG before. The 4wd is great in the snow and will take you anywhere. I specifically bought a 2009 for the newer body style with upgraded power over the 2008 and an improved Navigation system. The Mercury Mariner is the same vehicle as a Ford Escape Hybrid. This SUV has every option except the power moon roof, below is a list: Intelligent 4WD System 16" 12-spoke machined-aluminum wheels Premium leather-trimmed, heated front bucket seats Heated body-color side view mirrors Hybrid Energy/Navigation/Audiophile System: Hybrid energy-flow graphic; fuel economy display; Audiophile Sound System with AM/FM stereo/CD/DVD, MP3 capability and 7 speakers; SYNC; hard drive-based, voice-activated Navigation System features SIRIUS Travel Link TM and about 10 gigabytes of digital storage for pictures and music Backup Camera Ambient Lighting Roof-rack side rails with satin-aluminum inserts and black crossbars Reverse Sensing System It has 69,904 miles and is still covered under the 100k miles / 8 year hybrid battery warranty. I just put Michelin X-Radial LT2 All Season tires that have a 70k mile tread-wear warranty on it from Costco in the end of October 2013 that cost $625. Regular scheduled service at the Ford dealership with no mechanical issues. Have receipts for all service. There is one scratch on the drivers side rear door and some rock chips on the front but no other physical damage (see pics). I am the third owner and have owned it for the last two years. Only reason I am selling is to buy a mini-van with more room for our family. A deposit of $500 via PayPal is required 24 hours after purchasing and payment in full before pickup. I can help assist with vehicle shipping or pickup from the Helena airport. The SUV is being stored in a garage.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
