| Description of the problem | Vehicle was in middle lane of interstate 95 with traffic moving at 65-70 mph when there was (according to ford tech) a failure of the motor electronics cooling pump. This caused the vehicle engine to shut down and could have caused accident/death if wife wasn't able to get to shoulder weaving through lanes of traffic. I see online at http://www. Arfc. Org/complaints/2008/mercury/mariner_hybrid/engine_and_engine_cooling/problem. Aspx that this has been reported as a major complaint for awhile. Why is this not a recall? Someone will sure get killed. Our car has only 57k miles. |
