NHTSA Complaint #10217991 — 2007 MERCURY MARINER

I HAVE A 2007 MERCURY MARINER I PURCHASED IN APRIL 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES NOW. 3 OF THE 4 TIMES BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS "GONE OUT" ON THE VEHICLE I.E. THE GAS PEDAL, THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THE TENSION PULLEY. I ALSO FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THAT MANUFACTURER NEVER PUT THE BOLTS ON THE TOP OF MY ENGINE TO COVER THE SPARK PLUGS. I CONTINUE TO HAVE A PROBLEM. THESE LAST THREE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP GETTING NEW PARTS. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT USED. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS. EVERYTHING SO FAR IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IN 1,000 MILES I HAVE NO WARRANTY. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST IF SOMETHING ELSE "GOES OUT" ON MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR
