2007 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER Steering Problems

WHILE DRIVING MY SEAT WILL RANDOMLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH AS IF I TOOK THE KEYS OUT. THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION BUT AFTER HAVING THE GARAGE PUT TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT STILL FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP EVEN THOUGH THE GARAGE SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS FINE.

EXACT SAME AS NHTSA ID # 10654146. THE "EASY EXIT" FEATURE ACTIVATED AT 65 MPH IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. I AM 6' TALL AND WAS ABLE TO SLIDE SEAT FORWARD, BUT MY WIFE IS 5' TALL AND MAY HAVE HAD ISSUES REACHING THE PEDALS... THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS ( 2 AT FREEWAY SPEED, AND ONCE PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY). I WILL CONTACT DEALER, BUT WANTED SEARCH RECALLS FIRST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACK, AND THE DOME LIGHT CAME ON. THIS REALLY SCARED ME! THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED WITH OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO (THE SEAT MOVES BACK, I MOVE THE SEAT UP & IT GOES BACK AGAIN, I MOVE IT UP AGAIN...UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPS). THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN PERIODICALLY EVERY SINCE. *TR

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...
