NHTSA Complaint #762947 — 1998 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER

THE FLOORBOARD GOT SO HOT IN A SIX MILE DRIVE THAT THE PASSENGER COULD NOT SIT WITH FEET ON THE FLOOR. I MY WARRANTY WAS ALMOST UP AND I HAD NO SUCESS WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LES JACOBS FORD IN FIXING THIS IN THEIR OVER 10 ATTEMPTS. I THEN TRADED THE VEHICLE OFF TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX REPORT IT WAS WRECKED IN 3/22/98. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE OF THIS AUTO. I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH THE MISSOURI ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND I HAVE NOTIFIED LES JACOBS FORD & MERCURY. I HANDED A COPY OF THE CARFAX REPORT TO THE FORMER SERVICE MANAGER NOW GENERAL MANAGER, [XXX]. NOTICE THE NAME IS THE SAME AS THE DEALERSHIP. HE IS THE SON OF THE OWNER. I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO TWO 98 EXPLORER OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND I HAVE ENCOURAGED THEM TO ALSO FILE WITH YOU.*AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
