Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 MERCURY MARINER. JUST AFTER MAKING MY FIRST PAYMENT, I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN IT AND IT JERKED LIKE SOMETHING HAD BROKEN. IT NEVER LOST POWER. NEVER HAD ANY GAUGES COME ON OR ANYTHING. I DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST STORE AND HAD IT TOWED HOME AND THEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN. THEY CALL ME 2 DAYS LATER AND SAY I NEED A NEW MOTOR $6500. THAT'S MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. I ASK HOW WAS THAT WHEN NO GAUGES CAME ON. HIS RESPONSE WAS "IT'S INTERNAL. GAUGES WON'T COME ON." NEITHER THE LOT I BOUGHT IT AT, FORD, NOR THE FINANCE COMPANY WILL HELP IN THE REPAIRS. JUDGING BY ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE, THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON, NO WAY TO FIX IT OR GET OUT OF IT.
