This 2002 Mercury Mountaineer is being sold by the original owner in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The vehicle has been treated well and maintained properly, and is in good condition with 96,000 miles. The vehicle has been owned by a non-smoking family. The interior is clean. The interior is leather. Seating surfaces show signs of minor wear, have no holes or burns. The carpeting is in good shape with the exception of where the driver's right foot plants for acceleration. The air conditioning works great and delivers icy cold air into the cabin via automatic climate control (driver and passenger control).
The engine runs really well. Shifting is smooth. Acceleration is strong and without hesitation. All Wheel Drive works perfectly. Antilock brakes work perfectly as well. A brand new windshield was installed just 20 miles ago as a bonus to the new owner. Oil has been changed in the vehicle every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, including just 20 miles ago. Air filter changed 20 miles ago too. Transmission fluid changed once at 40,000 miles or so. Brakes pads are good and don't need attention. Michelin tires are in good condition and have plenty of tread remaining.
SUV comes with factory equipped Class III trailer towing package. Vehicle has never been used to tow anything other than small utility trailer. The SUV runs well enough to reliably tow a boat or a small camper with ease.
This car has served me and my family well. The only reason I am selling it is because it was time for us to get a new vehicle. This a good vehicle and I wouldn't hesitate to take my family on a long trip in it.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
