Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WAS NOT WORKING WELL. MY ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I GOT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE CAR, WE REALIZED IT HAD NO COOLANT. WE FILLED UP THE COOLANT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AS IT HAD BEFORE AS IF IT WERE WORKING TOO HARD. I CHECKED THE COOLANT AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY AGAIN. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNS THE MM AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR AND COST OF A NEW RADIATOR WAS 1500. FORD/MERUCY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT AND GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JANUARY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON A REPAIR. *TR
