| I am the owner of a 2007 mercury mountaineer. it has about 64,000 miles on it, most of them highway miles. i have a leak in my radiator. the dealer says it is a defect in the radiator, and no corrosion is present. it is out of warranty, so i must bear the cost of replacement of the radiator. cost ~$700. i do not drive off road, so there is no valid reason the radiator should have failed. during an internet search, i discovered this is a common problem with 2006 and 2007 mercury mountaineers and ford explorers. this issue should be investigated, and ford held accountable for putting defective parts in their vehicles. | |||
