| Description of the problem | 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 a repair. |
