| I was driving through a town and the car cut out and lost all power. i steered it off the road safety. it restarted just fine and i took off again going four blocks were it died instantly in the middle of the road. it is now in the shop to figure out what caused stalling in the car, and then allowing it to restart and continue down the road. very unsafe with traffic behind me and oncoming to be stalled on a curve on the road. | |||

| After coming to a stop at a light or stop sign, as i accelerate my car jumps/jerks as if it's straining to switch to next gear. generally happens when accelerating between 10-40 miles. when it initially started it would happen 1-2 times a week. now it happens every day. i have an appointment schedule to have dealer look at vehicle. | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2009 mercury mariner. the contact stated while driving 65 mph there was a noise coming from the engine. the vehicle was then taken to a mechanic shop who inspected the engine and notice there was no transmission fuel. he informed her the seal from the transmission was leaking fuel and referred her to a transmission auto shop. the vehicle was then taken to the transmission shop who informed her they needed to do an overhaul and to rebuild the transmission. the vehicle was now being repaired a cost to the contact. the dealer was not notified. the manufacturer was notified who stated there was no recall only a tsb nhtsa item number: 10039137: power train: automatic transmission summary: ford: the transmission may leak fluid from a seal. 2009-2010 escape/mariner. they offered no other assistance. the failure mileage was 76,000. mw | |||

| My vehicle started leaking fluorescent oil from behind the radiator. apparently, it's the condenser. i have been told that the radiator lines run through the same system, and that if it is not repaired my transmission will eventually fail. this failure was explained to be the transmission locking up, and they said if i'm going over about 30 mph it will be very dangerous. i am about 2,000 miles out of warranty, and the emails i have sent to ford only get a response that they will be happy to take my money and fix it. within a few months of buying it, the intake manifold had to be removed to repair something. then, a transmission solenoid. then, it was shifting funny -because it had very little fluid-noone could explain why. the vibration in the gas pedal at 42 mph could not be verified. the manufacturer was apparently out of satellite receivers, so they just didn't put one in...the lack of quality overall proves that the length of the warranty is to prevent them from costly fixes...and my long term investment makes me feel like i'm putting mine and my family's health at risk by driving it. i spent every dime i saved in iraq on this pos because i knew i wouldn't be able to afford another vehicle until i'm out of medical school. | |||

| On multiple occasions starting in jan 2011, the vehicle would hesitate to select a gear and accelerate while trying to leave a stop light or sign, or after making a turn leaving a few second lull where the vehicle is unresponsive. the previous transmission software re-flash was performed again even though dealer was unable to replicate problem. issue still persists occasionally, as well as a new symptom since march (23,000 miles). now, sometimes when coming to a stop the vehicle will stall as though the transmission did not downshift to a lower gear. placing the vehicle in neutral and restarting allows continued operation. these issues combined with inconsistency in shifting performance as noted by many others lead me to believe there is still a component and/or software problem with this 6f35 transmission. however, since the problem cannot be consistently replicated by the dealer they are unsure of a remedy. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2009 mercury mariner. while driving approximately 65 to 70 mph on normal road conditions; the transmission slipped with excessive vibration. the engine began to rev and the rpm's were high. suddenly, pressure was applied to the accelerator pedal, however, the response was minimal. the contact was able to drive onto the emergency lane and resume normal operation. an authorized dealer confirmed that the failure was contributed to the transmission over drive piston. the vehicle was repaired. the failures occurred whenever 5th and 6th gear were engaged. the identical failures occurred on two separate occasions after the service repairs were performed on the vehicle. in addition, the vehicle rolled while stationary on an incline. the contact had concerns of the safety risk involved. the failure and current mileages were 13,088. | |||
